Brummagem

[Josh1873]

Does anyone else refer to Brum as Brummagem? 

My nan always used to, and I've never heard anyone else do so, until I've just heard a gentleman say it in the pub.

[GunsOfNavarone]

Yep. Or at least I used to when I was a kid as my dad and his side of the family (Smethwick) always referred to it as thus.

And as 'Town', despite it being a city.

"Brum" or "town"

As a Smethwicker myself, I concur.

My Albion supporting Grandad did. He was a Brummie though

[Slowpoke]

I do. I'm 35, but I am a nob, so that's probably it.

[MrBater]

have done, sometimes to outsiders i still do... hear it less and less these days though.

[Merkinagogo]

Yeah, I'm a Brummie though and it was always 'going to town' too.

[DemonicBaggie]

Funnily enough used it the other day when explaining to someone the meaning of counterfeit. But do occasionally used it in reference to Brum.

[CA Baggie]

My Grandad would call it Brummagem. He was Black Country as you can be.
