Usually I call condoms "condoms", and most people I know also call them "condoms". Rubber is slang, albeit rarely used in my area of the US. People usually think "condom" when you say "rubber", though.

I'll contribute my own. Hopefully it's not been said!
UK: Knackered
US: Tired or Exhausted
If you see any mistakes, then by all means correct them. I don't have all the answers. I want contributions from as many people as possible.
