    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!

                lade[n] = charge

                  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

                                  It appears the manufacturers call them power adapters

                                        I call them '..a brick, a power brick.. a charger, no, the part you plug..'. Lmao, I carry one of these, whatever its cursed name is, with me literally everywhere I go so I don't have to ask for the thing. I feel you sib.

                                        See also: portable USB memory.

                                        Edit: unless you need another thing! A power bank? 'This?' Taking out a brick. A usb-c cable? 'What?' Phone charger? 'This?' No, the cable.. thanks.. sorry this is usb-a I'm gonna need the brick as well.. 'the what?' Smh.

                                          A proper name would be an AC to DC adapter or a DC power supply.
