    No seriously, I always get blank stares when I ask people, I've called them wall chargers or power bricks, my friend called them plug chargers, my fiancee calls them dongles. What do you call these around your house, like when you're asking someone if they've seen any (______)'s

          When I'm speaking English, I think I call them USB-to-outlet-thingy. Otherwise it's almost, but not exactly a direct translation: USB-Stecker.

                Last one doesn’t make sense any more, iPhones have been usb-c for a couple years now.

                              Charger block/brick. I'm definitrly siding with you; "dongle" is a bit of a stretch for these.

                              It's not a stretch it's wrong. It's not a dongle at all

                                      Gonna be honest my man I don't care, if my fiancee asks if I have a dongle I know what she means, even if it's wrong it would be silly to correct her and require she changes how she says it

                                          Just asking for a dongle with no context is already kind of an issue. Unless this is the only thing she ever calls a dongle. It's like saying can you give me a piece of cutlery. What kind??
