I posed the same question over on Google+. Here's what they're calling it over there.

"A bad idea"

"Two prong adaptor"

"Danger plug"

"Increase in home owners insurance"

Ceci n'est pas une pipe"

"Ground convertor"

and worringly

"CIA home torture playset!"

I used to call it a three wire to two wire plug or adaptor.

I know that others used another name, but I only used them every so often, so I did not memorize its current fad name.
