At least sixty-five women who previously attended the same school in Melbourne, Australia, have received used condoms in the post.
The letters, which also contained handwritten messages, were sent to addresses in south-eastern and eastern Melbourne.

- noun
- British informal, dated a condom
I have no idea why those wacky Brits should refer to condoms as French letters. But there you go.
