For a while, I've been fascinated with proprietary eponyms, although I didn't know that's what they were called :) For some on the list, it's easy to think of the name it replaced; Band Aid is bandage and Kleenex is tissue. But I'm trying to figure out the other names for a bunch of others. Would you call a Hi-lighter "a really fluorescent marking pen" or a Thermos "a container that maintains the temperature of a substance"? What about Kitty Litter? Some on the list I would never have guessed would be there, like Popsicle, Post-It Note, and Scrabble.

Ga"I really like the new feature!!:)"halia
