Do u know "French letters" it means CONDOM

In North America condoms are also commonly known as prophylactics or rubbers. In Britain they may be called French letters.

Condoms may also be referred to using the manufacturer's name e.g. Durex. In India they are called Nirodh, a government-promoted brand, or KS (after a condom brand name KamaSutra).

Among the Indian Gay and Transsexual Community, condoms are often referred to as "Chocolates", as they are distributed widely for AIDS prevention.Among Indian Muslims it is popularly known as "Parda" (veil or a curtain in Urdu).

In the Philippines, they are called "CD's" for the intentionally ambiguous effect (when confused with Compact Discs that are also called CD's). They are also called "kapote" (Filipino term for raincoat).

In Brazil a common phrase for the word condom is "camisinha" or small jumper.
