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
USB bricks or USB chargers
A proper name would be an AC to DC adapter or a DC power supply.
Wall charger or charger brick
Standalone USB chargers. Or in Dutch I'd probably just call them USB -opladers.
At one point we called them USB chargers. Nowadays, though, I just call them e-waste. Every thing I’ve bought for the last few years has been USB-C, and chargers for those usually come with a 10w type A port.
USB wall-wart
shaboops
Power bricks Plugs
Block. As in, "is there a charger in here? No goddamn it I have my own cord I just need the block"
The charger/phone charger. Since it's the most used charger it's just the default if we're not specific
Charger
The thing that goes into the plug but without the wire
Inkompatibel
Fire hazards?
Don't order them from AliExpress.
Charger block
USB charger ("usb-laddare"), also when they are used as a permanent transformer.
When I'm speaking English, I think I call them USB-to-outlet-thingy. Otherwise it's almost, but not exactly a direct translation: USB-Stecker.
Power dispenser
Butt candy.
Wall charger
Landfill
Block
Egg.
"Thingie"
Or in my language -- "Negocinho".
A Negocinho and a Cabo ("a thingie and a cable") make a phone charger ("carregador de celular")
