Hancock
Declaration's first signer
A Hancock is a signature, from John Hancock's famously large and bold signing of the Declaration of Independence.
To put your Hancock (or John Hancock) on something is to sign it: Just put your Hancock at the bottom of the form.
The expression is casual and distinctly American.
