Butter?
Basketball?
Biro?
Breadknife?
Blockhead (oh wait, that's me...)

No problem, UK-ian one!

Oh wait, there you go again! Biro! If I hadn't watched Morse on PBS I'd have no idea what you meant!

Nope to all [but the blockhead - but I wasn't looking at you when I posted the clue! ]

Yeah, It's kinda funny watching television sometimes, as they like to use terms like "tissue paper" in order to avoid trademark issues.

I did think Biro was universal, given that it was Lazlo Biro who invented/patented the ballpoint pen.
