Plural of fulham, which refers to a loaded or weighted die used for cheating at gambling.
From Fulham, a district in London historically associated with counterfeit goods and fraudulent practices. The term emerged in the 16th century when unscrupulous merchants in that area were known for producing fake coins and rigged dice.
Fulham became so notorious for fraud that its name became a generic term for cheating tools—a remarkable example of how a place's bad reputation could literally become vocabulary for dishonesty.
