I believe the term 'ERJ' could be any of the Embraer jets (-145, -170, -175).
genericly, yes, specifically, no. The ERJ is a 1-2 config plane (135/145) as opposed to an E70 or E75 (170/175)
kleenex is a generic name for facial tissue, but it’s also a specific brand.
thecsane can be said about a CRJ, which is specifically, the 200 model vs the CR7, which is the -700 model.
