Ferret Lyr ADD: My Old Man's a Dustman! (59* d) RE: Lyr Req: My Old Man's a Dustman! 16 Nov 01

I'm sure it's "nana" short for banana east end London slang for an idiot. in the Oxford Dictionary of slang has it as (1941) Australian: from bananas = crazy. In "The Times" A frank admission that he had made a "NANA" of himself.(1974)

I hope this helps all the best ferret
