PHRASE ORIGIN

The expression "Bob's your uncle!" has its origins in British English and is used to mean "and there it is" or "and you're done." It's an informal way of saying that something will be successful or turned out as expected.

The exact origins are unclear, but most etymologists believe it stems from the phrase "Bob's your uncle, Fanny's your aunt" which was popular in late 19th century England. This longer phrase was used to mean something was easily accomplished.

The "Bob" is thought to refer to British Prime Minister Robert Cecil, the 3rd Marquess of Salisbury, who was Prime Minister in the late 1800s. So saying "Bob's your uncle" was a joking way of suggesting you had someone powerful like a Prime Minister looking out for you.
