It means to sign something.. Looking at the Declaration of Independence , you can see John Hancock's signature the clearest. He wrote it bigger then the rest and neatly. Put your John Hancock write your signature nice and bold!
John Hancock was a well-known Revolutionary-era patriot, president of the Second Continental Congress, and the first governor of Massachusetts. He was a wealthy businessman, and is most known for his signature on the Declaration of Independence, which he had a hand in creating.
The term "Put your John Hancock on it" refers to a famous signature from American history. John Hancock was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He signed his name in large, bold, ornate handwriting because, as he said, he wanted to be sure that the English would see his name (and therefore know that he was against British rule). John Hancock knew that his life could be in danger by signing the Declaration, but he was willing to accept that risk. Therefore, when you are asked for your "John Hancock," it means that you are supposed to sign a document. We say it to recognize the bravery of the founding fathers, especially bold Mr. Hancock. ------------------------------------------------------- John Hancock was a signatory to the US deceleration of independence. His signature is VERY large and stands out on the document. Thus a "John Hancock" has in the US become a euphemism for 'signature'.
