What does i need your John Hancock mean?
"John Hancock" is presumably the problematic term in that phrase, the rest of it is pretty straightforward. "John Hancock" is slang for "signature", coming from the very prominent signature of John Hancock on the US Declaration of Independence. The John Hancock Life Insurance company had a commercial jingle featuring the line "put your John Hancock on the John Hancock".
Why do you say put your John Hancock here?
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'.
