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 charger brick.
This is a wall plugged charger with USB A -> please stop calling it dongle. I am sure we can at least agree, that dongle is factually wrong.
Cargador (Charger)
wall wart
I recently got odd looks for saying exactly this. I swear that’s what everyone where I live (Ohio, USA) USED to call them.
Wall warts are large transformer blocks that don’t have a cable but rather have an integrated plug. Yes this is a transformer that plugs straight into the wall, but it’s tiny. It’s at most a wall pimple.
Fire hazard
I refuse any moniker for these besides bricks
It’s only a brick if it’s separated from both the outlet and the device it’s powering by cables. Fight me.
Isn’t that in itself a moniker?
uhhh ‘do you have a charger butt?’ or 'hey, you got a buttplug? [while holding up my phone and shaking it] ’

Adapter or charger. Rarely - power brick.
The Dingus. Wall wart. And a whole number of colorful names if I step on one with the prongs up, or roll my ankle on one in the dark!
In England, we call those argy-bargy-cable-chargies.
mfw Americans call electro-rope “power cables”
usb cocks
USB A/C adapter, or just “ac adapter”.
This is my actual answer, also “wall adapter,” but I really liked Ginny’s “argly bargy cable chargie.”
