    Do you have any more context? On its own, I can't find anything about the phrase.

    Sorry to be late to response.
    I'm afraid there is no more context.
    But thank you for answering.

    Nancy, by the way, is a rude term for an effeminate gay person- could it be you nancy or something?

    Sorry to be so late to post reply.
