    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

      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??

              Again, I do not care, that's not something that matters in our relationship

              Edit: I still don't care and now I'm going to start saying it when talking to her because all of your discomfort gives me joy

                    Charging brick.

                    Unless I'm describing it in a system, then it's a full bridge rectifier 🙂
