Just as Cockney has its rhyming slang (“bees and honey” means “money,” for example), other British dialects have their own forms of slang. In Brummie, the Birmingham accent, the adjective “brummagem” (sometimes capitalized) refers to cheap, showy, but mostly counterfeit objects. “Brummagem” came about in the mid-17th century to refer to the counterfeit coins and cheap goods being produced in Birmingham.
