A USB flash drive, aka memory stick, aka thumb drive?
Sony has, or had, a trademark on the term “Memory Stick”. Which kind of
discouraged its use for USB sticks in general.
Yeah, well, Xerox, Kleenex, and Band-Aid are trademarked too afaik.

I think most of those are gone.
Yeah, isn't there a legal thing where like if a name becomes part of
common vocabulary, then you lose the trademark? I remember a long time
ago reading that Photoshop was trying to get people to say they
"digitally enhanced this image with Adobe PhotoshopTM" instead of
saying "i photoshopped it" like a normal person.
