I am a Welshman, born and bred in Wales - a fluent Welsk speaker- never heard this word in our language and it is highly unlikely that it is of Welsh origin as no "Q" appears in the Welsh alphabet
the nearest possible spelling would be cwim in Welsh but this would have absolutley no meaining and if the word quim was said to any one of us we would not know what you would be talkng about

Get the quim mug.
Get the fagno mug.Ironic yet affectionate term for the city of Brisbane, Australia (population nearing 1.7 million these days). It's also a city a lot of people - especially southerners - like to rag, however I personally love the place and consider the people to be intelligent and friendly, and the weather fantastic. There's nothing hick-like about this town. Perhaps there was in the Sir Joh era (circa 1980s), but certainly not anymore.
As far as I am aware, the term "Brisvegas" originated as an ironic association with Las Vegas, to pay out on Brissy's less-than-perfect nightlife scene and perhaps its general "things to do" factor (at the time). And yet, while meant to be an insult initially, recently Brisbanites have "reclaimed" the word, of sorts, as an endearing term for a city that, while not exactly being "where it's at" in any sense of the word, is still a pretty cool place to live.
