    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 generally think of these as "transformers", but I call it a power supply. Mostly folks look at me like a Labrador trying to do calculus, and say "You mean a power brick?"

        All of these work except "dongle". a dongle had a specific purpose in my day, some high end software wouldnt work without the dongle (a USB, serial or parallel device) plugged into the computer. Was an anti piracy device.

                    Dongle? That implies connection to a host computer.
