we use nicknames way too frequently.
to make life easier for those you don't know our lingo,
let me attempt to clarify:
'jancer' was a nickname my husband was given in college...
one day brandon received a letter from a friend in the dominican republic.
his roommate saw the letter addressed to "brandon jancer" sitting on the counter.
the dominican didn't know how to spell/say "hansen".
so they spelled it phonetically thus "hanser" is what they heard and "jancer" is what they wrote.
the college friend saw the letter and asked
"who the heck is jancer?"
(mispronouncing the name entirely and using a 'k' sound for the 'c', think rhymes with banker)
and then the college friends went on to play a video game and brandon used 'jancer' as his name in the game.
and the rest is history.

dumb story i know.
but it's how it happened.
so when i met my love to be, he was introduced to me as jancer.
we were friends for awhile and i rarely called him brandon.
then one day we kissed.
i probably should have started calling him by his given name at that point but i didn't.
and i still don't.

as the years went by i became lazy and changed 'jancer' to 'jank'
i became mrs jancer.
and poor little kate had the luck to be born into the mess.
(we call her katers, miss kate, katie grace, stinker bum, the kid.....)
