Definition: Pleasant, honest, straight-forward. (British-influenced slang use)
Pronunciation: jann-NOK
Origin:
Uncertain. It’s said to be a British colloquialism and though the claim actually sounds viable, I haven’t found any solid evidence confirming or to the contrary.
Why this word?
Solid, comfortably guttural, easy to say.
That sounds about the right sort of phonetic description for a term that’s used to describe someone with the same sort of qualities as Captain America.
How would you use this word in a sentence?
Example: “No matter how squirrely and slimy he looks, trust– the man’s an absolute jannock. That’s just his face, I promise you.”
