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
Fire hazards?
Don't order them from AliExpress.
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.
USB charger ("usb-laddare"), also when they are used as a permanent transformer.
Butt candy.
Power dispenser
The thing that goes into the plug but without the wire
"That thing to connect USB to the outlet"
Phone pixie wrangler.
Garbage.
Pixels (or did you mean the photo? If so I call it a photo).
Wall to big USB.
Up in the PNW we call em 'butts'
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.
uhhh 'do you have a charger butt?' or 'hey, you got a buttplug? [while holding up my phone and shaking it] '
