Yeah. We could also call it a napkin, while we're at it, but "brouillon" 
is plenty good.

I don't know. When I was in any grade from 3 to 13, they asked us to make 
a brouillon and then to recopy it "au propre". It ended up that my 
brouillon was often nearly as clean as the "propre" and certainly, by the 
time any other person saw it, it was finished. If I lacked time, the 
propre was not finished and the brouillon was. The recopy-rush was just a 
hand-demolishing experience. It's the sado-maso aspect of high school 
culture.
