wall warts

bricks

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.

Power brick, power adapter, or USB charger are what come to mind for me.

I gotta say I disagree heavily with your fiancee on dongles. IMO dongles are adapters for data of some kind, not just power from the wall. But to each their own I guess.

USB chargers

We call them Handyladegeräte, and I think that's beautiful

Wall Warts.

Phone charger

But in the case of the ones in the pic, fire hazzard

Charger block/brick. I'm definitrly siding with you; "dongle" is a bit of a stretch for these.

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

USB power adapter

Clearly labeled power adapters

AC adapters

Fire hazards

AC/DC-inator

Full Bridge Rectifier

Wall wart

My favorite has always been "wall wart"

“Charging block”

I don't know, but now I'm calling them wall warts because this community corrupts us, lol.

Charging block/brick

Wall Adapter

Phone Charger/Wall Charger

usb charger / usb wall plug / usb power adapter

drop the 'usb' when the context makes it obvious

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.

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.

"Brick," or "charger brick." Sometimes "AC adapter."

USB Charger

Wall wart

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.

USB A/C adapter, or just "ac adapter".

"Dongles" are wire to wire USB adapters for computers. Sound "cards", Ethernet adapters, video adapters.

Dongle? That implies connection to a host computer.

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?"

Charge block.

I refuse any moniker for these besides bricks

When I was in college, we called these wall warts.

Stromziegel

USB charger or adapter

"wall block"

I'd call them USB adapters; "chargers" is probably slightly more common though never sat right with me since they can be used to power things other than charging.

Or more in the past we would call any kind of power adapters "transformers" but don't seem to hear that much any more.

Chargie boys.

USB plug. Mine also has an Earth connection.

Charging brick. Or, if an unmarked generic brand like the ones you've shown, Fire Hazard.

Power bricks or USB bricks. A dongle is an adapter, so it has some sort of thing on each side (besides a power plug lol).

Isn't it a mobile 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.

Block

wall wart

Squares

The wonders of spanish

In my house, we call them butt plugs.

It appears the manufacturers call them power adapters

Chakra, Charging brick, power adapter

Charging brick, or power adapter.

I can't think of a better term for these.

If context is unclear might add a "mains" or even "C" in the middle as needed.

Plug adapter - UK

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

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

The thing that goes into the plug but without the wire

Standalone USB chargers. Or in Dutch I'd probably just call them USB -opladers.

Butt candy.

Wall charger

Landfill

"Thingie"

Or in my language -- "Negocinho".

A Negocinho and a Cabo ("a thingie and a cable") make a phone charger ("carregador de celular")

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.

Germany: Ladegerät
Translated: Charging device

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 charger brick.

Power or charger boxes

When it is a product that I don't know what the general term is, I look it up on Wikipedia. Usually, the different names for the item are discussed right there in the introduction and often have pictures.

If I am not satisfied with that result, then I find the product on a shopping website, and see what it is called there or what category it is in. In order to sell it, customers have to find it, which is why this is an effective tactic.

Butts. Seriously. But no one ever knows what im asking for, so then I say "the cube, the brick, the chargey part...with a usb please"

I don't think I made it up, but literally no one else ever seems to call them that, so idk where I heard it.

transformer (short for power transformer)

I think that's actually one of the official german words for it (Transformator - transformer), alongside Ladegerät - charging device, or Netzteil - grid part.

Poorly designed. British plugs are the best in the world.

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!
