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

    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.

      Same here, it seems to be the most common in tech circles online. I’ve never once said it and have someone understand. Not the meaning, nor the words.

      How does this happen? I call them wall warts as well, and nobody around me does. I will follow up with “phone charger”
