pun was played before. But there’s nothing to be done about that now.
plumme
Old spelling of plum.
Verse from Arthur Golding’s 1567 translation of Ovid’s Metamorphoses:
The fertile earth as yet was free, untoucht of spade or plough,
And yet it yeelded of it selfe of every things inough.
And men themselves contented well with plaine and simple foode,
That on the earth of natures gift without their travail stoode,
Did live by Raspis, heppes and hawes, by cornelles, plummes and cherries,
By sloes and apples, nuttes and peares, and lothsome bramble berries,
And by the acornes dropt on ground, from Joves brode tree in fielde.
The Springtime lasted all the yeare, and Zephyr with his milde
And gentle blast did cherish things that grew of owne accorde,
The ground untilde, all kinde of fruits did plenteously afforde.
Check out that plough / inough rhyme. Probably both were ending in the consonant IPA calls /x/, which is the ch in Scots loch. Note also how milde still rhymed with fielde.
Plummy
Mellow voice
Flummy
Hmm, its meaning in British English is more “a posh voice”, I think.
What does this mean?
it is a slang
for a fat wobbly thing
Cool cool.
I’ll continue with glummy then.
Online dictionaries call it an old word for gloomy or glum, though I couldn’t find it in the wild on Wikisource.
The source for it being a word is apparently the 1913 Webster’s.

The gemmy bridle glittered free, / Like to some branch of stars we see / Hung in the golden galaxy.
