Those smelly slightly damp blue/purple copies were mimeographs. I’m old enough to remember seeing a hand crank machine in an office somewhere with somebody cracking up smelly copies. Different than xeroxes. But I’m just realizing I’ve known what the word ditto means all along without knowing what it comes from.

You left out the sweet, sweet solvent.

The sound of the teacher's clack-clack-clack on the hallway floor returning from the teacher's lounge would start a pavlovian tingle in your nose in anticipation.

It almost made up for getting the last one, which was only vaguely legible because the master was running out.
