It is used in Cockney rhyming slang (London, UK) to mean by oneself, without company, often shortened to just "on your Jack." People typically say "I went to the pub on my Jack" or "He's sitting over there on his Jack Jones." The term originated in mid 20th century London rhyming slang, drawing on American singer Jack Jones, and remains a classic, widely recognized example.
