Originally old Cornish for 'one who lives by the sea' which pretty much includes everyone in Devon and Cornwall. It since has mutated into a perjorative term used by ignorant and ill informed non-natives (grockles and emmets). The term now almost exclusively applies to the inhabitants of Plymouth largely as they are still unafraid to use the term to describe themselves. I would like to take the time to point out that contrary to some contributions, Plymothians (as the English would prefer) or Janners are not synonymous with the inhabitants of Swilly. Most of these poor unfortunates are a sub-species of Human, let alone Janner. And a blight on that fair City.

Get the jainesh mug.Someone who acts hard/tough or does something that will probably get them in a lot of trouble if they get caught e.g. drugs, stealing, trespassing.
It is often used sarcastically to mock someone. Sometimes it is used to describe branded clothing.
It is often shortened to “jail”

Get the Jailer mug.Jasnery is a very is very weird, funny, and annoying. Jasnery always seems to get mad at the smallest things you do and if your right she will keep insisting that she is right and you are wrong. Have food, hide it quick Jasnery will beg you until you give her food and if you don't she will hate you for the rest of the day!!!!

Get the Jaiger mug.I believe the above have been mistaking 'janners' for swillys the sub-chav species of moronic, burberry wearing, arses that parade our streets and give all us Plymouthian inhabitants a bad name.
Now, a janner, as will be correctly stated by one who was born and lives here, is a term used by most outsiders to describe the people who live in Plymouth, Devon.
Not to be mistaken for a swilly which is actually a sub-species here and should be wiped out very quickly. For further infomation on these rodents see chav.
