clamjamphrien.

Brit.

/klamˈdʒamfri/, U.S.

/ˌklæmˈdʒæmfri/, Scottish English

/klamˈdʒamfrɪ/

Forms: Also 1800s clanjamphry, clanjamphrey, clanjamfery, clanjamfrie, clanjamfray.

Etymology: Origin and history uncertain: Scott's clanjamphry suggests a contemptuous reference to a Highland Clan, e.g. Clan Chattan, Clanranald, etc.; and jampher occurs in Scots dialects, variously used as ‘scoffer, mocker, trifler, idler, shuffler’, so that clan-jamphery would give a passable sense. But it is more probable that the original idea is ‘trumpery’, and that the personal use is derived.

Scottish and northern dialect.

1. Trumpery, rubbish, things of little value.
