Since roundball is a little light, I am going to seek your assistance in finding a word I've been trying to remember for years. No one that I associate with can help me so I'm going to expand my horizon to you all.

Back in the day, my 12th grade english teacher told us this word and, for no reason whatsoever, I've been trying to remember it. The word is roughly defined as brand names that become so popular that they become synonymous with the product itself. For example,Kleenex (instead of tissue), Kool-Aid (instead of flavored drink), Coke (instead of soft drink).

I know I've done a poor job defining it but give it your best shot anyway. Juulie, I'll be disappointed if you don't know the answer.

Thanks.
