    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

      I call those low quality crap made in China so that China has a better chance to bring us down by seizing to export this stuff.

      Anything but China, please. Even Vietnam is a lot better!

                      Had to check that out.

                      Handy = mobile phone
                      lade[n] = charge
                      geräte = devices

                        Charging brick. I don't think I've ever heard them called anything else besides a charger.

                          Now that you make me think about it I think I've been calling them different names depending on what I intended to use them for, most of the time (I'm translating) I call them phone charger but I also called the power supply or usb power supply when I wanted to power something else.

                          Never thought about it.

                                    I’m reading through the comments and pretty much I’ve heard them called all of them and I’ve called them most of them

                                    Except a wall wart

                                        Plugs?

                                        It appears the manufacturers call them power adapters
