A Brummie is someone from Birmingham in England. People also use it as an adjective: Brummie humour, a Brummie accent. The accent is well known in Britain; other British people can often hear it at once. The word is informal and ordinary — not rude by itself — though like many “person from X” words it can sound teasing in a cold voice. It comes from Brum (the short name for the city) plus -ie, “a person from there.” Brum itself comes from Brummagem, an old local form of Birmingham. It is not used for people from Birmingham, Alabama.
伯明罕人；也可說伯明罕腔、伯明罕的（英國；台灣寫「伯明罕」，中國大陸常寫「伯明翰」）
組成From Brum + -ie (a person from there). Brum is from Brummagem, a dialect form of Birmingham.
