Q: "Who!?"
A: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bella_Thorne

(found this some years ago)--(it can't be all that old)

Or her full name:

Annabella Avery Thorne =
Nana! A very lethal boner!

Here, I presume "Nana!" is an even more intense version of "Mama!".

Yeah, I problably wouldn't kick her out of bed for eating cookies.

Nana (in Italian, etc.) means Grandmother.
I think it was used in Joyce household.



Nanu! ----- could also be Jp, (the same meaning as German)

(Nanu Nanu)


The single word nanu is an actual German word.

1. The Real German Word (Nanu)

In German, nanu is a common interjection. It doesn't mean hello or
goodbye; instead, it is an exclamation of surprise, puzzlement, or mild confusion.

It translates roughly to: "Oh?", "Well now!", "Huh?", or "What's this?".

For example, if a German speaker can't find their keys where they just
left them, they might say:


------"Nanu? Wo sind meine Schl|+ssel?" ("Huh? Where are my
keys?")
