Fascinating. I've never heard anyone say "Bic biro" but I don't doubt it's in usage somewhere.

- WorldMaker 3y agoI do know Americans that colloquially use "bic pen" as their preference for "ballpoint pen", but that's partly pressure from the other direction of the genericization that they associate "bic" alone more with lighter. So "a bic" is a lighter and "a bic pen" is a ballpoint pen.
