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
"Brick," or "charger brick." Sometimes "AC adapter."
USB Charger
Wall Warts
Charging brick.
Unless I'm describing it in a system, then it's a full bridge rectifier :)
Charging Blocks
Usually charger brick or just brick
USB chargers.
"Dongles" are wire to wire USB adapters for computers. Sound "cards", Ethernet adapters, video adapters.
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?"
Dongle? That implies connection to a host computer.
Adapter or charger. Rarely - power brick.
Wall wart or power brick.
Ladegerät
wall warts
Wall Wart
YF-W36-2U
Though sometimes like to be more specific and say something like "hey can you grab the blue YF-W36-2U for me?"
Usb wall charger
I usually call them "those, uh, usb thingies" while pantomiming plugging one into the wall
When I was in college, we called these wall warts.
Charge block.
"Wall Warts"
USB charger or adapter
Stromziegel
"Charger" (lader) in general and more specific "block" (blokje)
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.
"wall block"
Power biscuit
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).
Charging block
Charging brick. Or, if an unmarked generic brand like the ones you've shown, Fire Hazard.
Chargie boys.
