"durex"- condom(UK)
"hoover"-vacuum cleaner
<sony>"walkman" -personal music player(in the 80's!),
"Allen" bolts-hex head bolts.
"Biro"- ballpoint pen
"Velcro"- hook and loop fastener
"Sellotape"- sticky tape(UK)
"Disprin"- disolvable asprin(UK)
"Band-aid" - sticky plaster(US)
"Goretex"- virtually everyone calls it Goretex even when its another brand of breatheable waterproof cloth!
"Champagne"- white sparkling wine only from the champagne region in France
"Speedo" - any extremely revealingly small mens swimming trunk/pants


There is a reverse side to this. An example would be a product that people ask for generally but really mean a specific product - such as Ketchup.What they really mean is "Heinz tomato ketchup" and are usually disappointed when they get something else.

Other examples of this would be:
corn flakes - they really want "Kelloggs" corn flakes
Maple syrup- they really want real "canadian" maple syrup.
Toilet paper- they really want a soft branded type not that single ply "medicated"? Izal rubbish.
French bread - bread actually made in France?what they mean is french <style> bread.This applies to anything made in the <style> of something but not actually it.
Australian/Californian "champagne"!!- Champagne only comes from that region in France.All else is just sparkling wine!
