Attack of the Nans

The moment, usually in a sporting context, when the pressure is on to perform, but you find yourself overcome with nerves and a crisis of confidence resulting in turning to jelly and bottling it.

Whilst playing pool: 'I'm not sure he's going to pot this black, he's having an attack of the Nans'

Whilst playing golf: 'will he sink this for a birdie, or have an attack of the nans?'

What are Nans Slaying?

The phrase primarily used by the Toronto “Mad mans” usually located in Scarborough or the ends of Waterloo. Often used during in replacement of “Hello” or “How are you doing?” Used in the beginning of a FaceTime call or just at the start of a regular conversation.

Nan

Nan is quiet, and acts like she doesn’t care, yet even if you asked her for advice at 12am in the morning, you’d have to wait until the morning because she sleeps basically the whole day. She literally the best friend you could ever ask for, she may not always show it, but you can always count on her to make ur day that much better. Her jokes….only some people get it cause you can mistake her humour for being mean. She’s beautiful inside and out, but I won’t tell her that because gay.

“Is that you’re grandma?”
“Nah that’s my Nan”

Nan

Best friend you could ask for, but I won’t ever say that too her face. Has a sense of humour that only some people understand. She has a big heart, even though sometimes it seems like she doesn’t and whether she admits it or not, she cares about others a whole lot. Well some people. Whether u need her at 12pm or 12 am, you’ll have to wait for her to wake up because all she does is sleep. She’s someone you would do anything for, aswell as someone who would do anything for you. We all need a Nan, but again I won’t say that to her face cause ew.
