nano desu

Nothing, really. It's just a stock phrase. Japan has a few of them. It CAN be translated, literally, as "it is so".

Nano (なの) is a "sentence-ender", something that people use to give their words more life when talking. Generally, nano is used by females to beautify their sentences.
Some ships that use nano include Haruna and Iku (I-19).

Desu (です) is a more formal sentence-ender that can be used by anyone. Typically, statements will end with desu, although it is usually not needed and people will use other sentence-enders to fit the situation, such as a verb-masu.

nano nap

An unintentional, seconds-long nap that you take most often in class or a really boring meeting. So short that usually nobody but you notices.
I caught myself taking a nano nap on that conference call.

Cheeky Nandos

Cheeky Nandos

A term used by Brits to linguistically torment confused Americans, wherein they "explain" what it means while using as much British slang as humanly possible, for maximum Yank confusion.

"Nandos" is a British restaurant chain where you can get a respectable amount of spicy chicken and chips (fries) for a moderate price, suitable for sharing among a small group of friends. "Cheeky" is a multipurpose word which, in this context, appears to mean "spicy," "awesome/delicious," and "amusing in a slightly naughty/irreverent way" (because you're eating with your friends, who are a cheeky bunch, leading to a cheeky dining experience overall).

"Cheeky Nandos with the lads," in American, might be "Kick-ass hot wings with my bros" though "kick-ass" lacks some of the subtle connotations of irreverence that "cheeky" posesses.
"Just went for a cheeky Nandos. Let's go wind up some Yanks by tweeting about it."

Cheeky Nandos

What you get to refuel, after some exhausting banter with the lads.
When you're out with the Lads on the town, having an absolutely top notch time until about two, when Charlie says he's hungry and wants to go to KFC. Now Charlie is a top lad, but Matt is just the Archbishop of Banterbury, and he suggets you go for a Cheeky Nandos. Obviosly this is agreed by everyone, and you say "lets smash it"
