Talk:copper captain

I have removed this from the entry because it seems to be unattested (either wholly, or except as the name of the specific character):

"Brummagem captain (from Brummagem (“counterfeit; spurious”), from the local pronunciation of Birmingham, England, where counterfeit coins were made in the 17th century; see Brummagem)"
"a General von Poffenburgh (a boastful but incompetent military officer in Washington Irving's A History of New York (1809), book 6, chapter 1)"
