Re: Wouldn't Happen Here
"Xerox" as a generic verb has been a thing for a long time. Shorter and easier to say than "Photocopy." Other genericizations happen like "Kleenex", "Hoover", "Scotch tape".
I think the non-branded generic name for what we call "scotch tape" is "adhesive tape", though the correct name is apparently "pressure-sensitive adhesive tape". Can't imagine why people don't always call it that. :) I believe in England they prefer to call it "sticky tape".
