We still call the dark marky stuff in pencils "lead" even though it hasn't been made of that within any of our lifetimes.

It hasn't been since before pencils were encased in wood, which occurred not too long after the Brits began seriously mining plumbago.

Do plumbers need a new name too? They don't use lead any more either (I hope).

If I can do so safely, I don't want to lick them at all.
