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

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!
Adapter or charger. Rarely - power brick.

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.”
Chargie boys.
As it says on the device, power adapter. But if you wanted to be more specific, you could call it a USB power adapter.
Wall charger should also get the message across.
Take your fiancée to the hospital & check for stroke. Dongles…are something entirely different. Always.
Power Adapter is too broad.
If someone asked me for one I wouldn’t know what they wanted. It could be an international adapter, or a DC power supply, or one of these things.
All of that minus dongles. Never dongles!
Wall warts
I honestly hate this term, but alas, I also say wall wart most of the time.
