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 Jannel mug.A german name for a irresistibly mysterious girl whom you see around often, yet know nothing about. Usually a real cool girls name. It`s easy to talk to her for houres...you just forget about time.
People find her very attractive. She has got a great and special style and sense of humor. She's amazing in many ways and probably knows a load of people.
She enjoyes (night)life, looooves to travel and meet new people. Normaly she is awake at night. You could watch her dancing on a table or a counter then ;)

Get the Janne mug.A person by the name of Jannes is probably THE most attractive, intelligent and interesting person you will ever meet.
They are so rare and cool, if you see one get an autograph immediately.

Get the Jannell mug.Jannessa is an amazing person. She is a social butterfly and doesn’t know it, she puts others needs before hers and is very supportive.Is very active and loves sports. Always so hunger and eats others food. Beautiful even though she disagrees. Jannessa is a outgoing person, she will take risks to see the outcome. She’s always ready to try new things and meet new people. Sometimes crazy and freaky, which is fun when with friends. Is full of all kinds of jokes. Kind of forgetful and a lucky person.

Get the Jannessa 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.
