    Probably in the '90s, early 2000s. Usually it would be a teacher saying they needed to go make a Xerox/some xeroxes. I’m pretty sure some of those schools didn’t actually have a Xerox-brand machine. I think most people say going to make a copy now, and it doesn’t seem to be done nearly as often as it was 10 years ago.

      Yup. By the early 00s it was rare to hear someone say xerox something but it was still pretty common in the late 90s. Offices in the military and civilian-military world.
