Nancy, you, Grant, John? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

toilet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'john?' is the definition.
(I know that toilet is a type of john)

'nancy you grant' is the wordplay.
'nancy you' becomes 'toi' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'grant' becomes 'let' (I've seen this in another clue).
'toi'+'let'='TOILET'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for toilet that I've seen before include "Plumbing fixture" , "where penny the cost?" , "Smallest room" , "Lavatory paper" , "It means washing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
