    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

    The charger/phone charger. Since it's the most used charger it's just the default if we're not specific

        Because they're made in the wrong part of China where no iPhones and Motorola are made? It's so hard to tell whether it's the west side of Shenzhen or the east side that is best. Are they gonna dance-fight over that?

          If the transformer is in the same housing at the plug with a separate cable (as shown): wall wart.

          If the DC cable is attached, it's a charger.

          If it's housed in its own case, it's a power brick.

          If there's no transformer it's a power lead, unless it's rated for over 10A, then it's a power cable.

          Dongles are peripherals that are housed in the same casing as the host connector. Anyone who thinks they can power a device with a dongle is a dangerous sociopath.

                  There's plenty of dongles that have passthru power. At what point it becomes a dock though I'm not sure.

                      Wall wart, but nobody knows what the fuck I’m talking about. “charger plug” is what those anround me expect to hear. So, that’s what I call them.

                                usb charger / usb wall plug / usb power adapter

                                drop the 'usb' when the context makes it obvious

                                  Everything you said was except for dongle. I absolutely would not accept that in my household.
