With my friends it's either "USB-C" or the "round USB". Maybe it's already too old to be referred to as the "new USB". The old one is definitely the "old USB" or the "not round USB".
OH (frequently):
- hey I need to to up, do you have a phone charger?
- yup, which kind?
- not "an Apple"
- oh, so USB?
- yeah the "standard" one, not the "new usb"
That said, I'm surprised many do know about the literal "usb-c" term. Micro USB A though flies over their head, it's "small usb" or "standard usb" every time.
Of note: EU here, and while they by and large don't know about the EU standardising stuff they did notice the effect. I've seen a few refer to USB-C as "universal one" (largely coz it works the same for both phones and laptops)
