British slang for a pornographic magazine — the kind of top-shelf publication that used to lurk behind modesty boards at newsagents before the internet made physical adult media essentially obsolete. 'Bongo' is a well-worn British euphemism for pornography, and 'mag' is the standard abbreviation for magazine. The phrase is used with amused nostalgia as much as genuine reference today, a relic of pre-broadband British culture.
He joked that finding a stash of bongo mags under a floorboard was practically a rite of passage for anyone renovating an old house.
