one’s signature

2. They sent the check back because he forgot to put his John Hancock on it.
The expression refers to the signature of the first person to sign the American Declaration of Independence in 1776. John Hancock’s signature was larger than the others and stood out clearly.
JOHNNY-COME-LATELY
a newcomer
1. You can’t expect to join the company, take over immediately, and not cause some hard feelings. To the workers, you’re a Johnny-come-lately.
2. The author of the book was under attack because he was a Johnny-come-lately to the field and didn’t have the reputation that the older, more established authors had.
ON THE NOSE
exactly
1. Their parents tried not to tell them where they were going, but the children were too clever for them. They guessed it on the nose.
2. The children’s father told them each to think of a number between one and ten. The child who chose the closest number to the one he was thinking of would get the larger piece of candy. His youngest daughter picked the number on the nose.
ON THE FRITZ
not working correctly
1. This television works for a few minutes and then the picture fades out. It’s on the fritz.
2. We’d better think about getting a new refrigerator, because this one has a puddle of water under it every few days. It seems to be on the fritz.
