You know, after all these years, I don't believe I would know the specific word he used if you slapped me in the face with it. Juulie, you've convinced me that eponym will work just fine. I knew my faith in you wasn't misplaced.

For the rest of our lovely contestants, thank you for your contributions. You may collect your parting gifts at the door.

Genericide Rules - Congrats to RecRef
 
Check out http://www.wordspy.com/words/genericide.asp RecRef was absolutely right! Only minor problem is that the earliest citation for the word was 1983, so a HS teacher might not have been using it in the timeframes involved.

Genericide has to do with the process, not with the products of the process. That's why I think Juulie's is probably more what I'm looking for. I graduated from HS in 1982, btw, so the timeframe is close.

For me, it was during "Industrial Marketing" in 1970.
