I had no idea that "Slag" is used in reference to a hooker in the UK.

There is a Transformers Dinobot named "Slag" for the longest time. Recently...his name got changed from Slag to Slug. Nobody knew why the name was suddenly changed for this new release. Someone from the UK had to explain that to the Americans.

Do you even know who Jimmy Carr is?

Language evolves with time, geography and with context.

In the UK, a faggot is a cigarette and a rubber is a condom.

Not quite:-

A faggot is a meatball usually made with the offal from pigs.
Faggot (food) - Wikipedia

Or its a derisory slang term for a gay person
Faggot Definition & Meaning | Dictionary.com


A cigarette is a fag (mainly)...but can also be a shortened version of faggot & depends on its usage
FAG | meaning in the Cambridge English Dictionary


Over here a Rubber is what you call an eraser, as its made from rubber (from the rubber tree)...We call a condom a condom, but, its is also called a "rubber" (slang) & also as in "rubber Johnny" in a slang term, as a "Johnny" is a slang term for a man or boy.

Slag, is mining waste, as in a slag heap. But it is also a cockney (London) slang term for a prostitute...

One of the more popular TV appearances of this term was from the classic TV series from the 1970's called "The Sweeney" (detectives in the Mets "Flying squad") the tV series is not reality TV, but the police unit is real. The flying squad is the section of the London Metropolitan Police who deal with all the armed robberies, & serious & organised crime. Cockney rhyming slang for flying squad is "Sweeny Todd"....hence "The Sweeney"..
