Quote:
[Q]What is the origin and actual meaning of bob’s your uncle?
[A] This is a catchphrase which seemed to arise out of nowhere and yet has had a long period of fashion and is still going strong. It’s known mainly in Britain and Commonwealth countries, and is really a kind of interjection. It’s used to show how simple it is to do something: "You put the plug in here, press that switch, and Bob’s your uncle!".
