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.

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

Phone charger

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

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

Fire hazards

Clearly labeled power adapters

USB charger

AC adapters

AC/DC-inator

Full Bridge Rectifier

"no not an iPhone charger, I need USB C"

All of that minus dongles. Never dongles!

I think I'd call them "bad USB chargers"

Wall wart

My favorite has always been "wall wart"

“Charging block”

Wall Adapter

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

Phone Charger/Wall Charger

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

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.

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.

Wall wart

USB Charger

I call those release the Epstein files

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

Charging block/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.
