OTOH there are whiteboards and whiteboard markers :-)

ITYF they're called 'penboards' by the PC brigade, though the pens I
have in front of me just say 'Dry Wipe Marker', conveniently avoiding
the mention of any type or colour of board.

Ours were called "Nobo", helpfully pronouced by Dennis (our physics
teacher's nickname" as "KNOB-O" just to ensure even the dimmest pupil
didn't fail to spot the hilarity ;-
