What do you think of when I say...

...Mimeograph paper?

(Actually, it will be interesting to see how many here even know what it is without Googling it.)

some sort of copy paper from the word mime.

 

[GreyUnderscore]

Some kind of paper you use to type on?

 

[gsdx]

@Taz - It is, most often used in schools way back when I was a kid. The key, though, is that the ink was alcohol-based. When the copies were handed out, the students would stick their noses in the paper and inhale. It was quite the rush back then.

Purple ink.

I think of an authentic, French mime graphing clean sheets of printing paper.

When I read the OP, I could actually in my mind smell the ink.

^ It's one of those smells that comes rushing back, isn't it? Zooms you right back to your childhood.

I have no actual idea what is as it seems you older lads do. But I can only assume it has something to do with copying/ imitating from its Greek root.

Please fill me in!
