turtlespeed 226 #1 September 30, 2003 I was looking at AD's post and didn't want to Hijack it. So I bring this question. I have heard this before, and know it must be a good thing, but WTF does "Bob's your uncle" Mean? Any other strange expressions or sayings? Write 'em down, post em. Yippie Ki - Ae Mutha F**ckerI'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebecca 0 #2 September 30, 2003 It means something like "You're all set." Or did you mean where did it come from? edit: It's a catch phrase dating back to 1887, when British Prime Minister Robert Cecil (a.k.a. Lord Salisbury) decided to appoint a certain Arthur Balfour to the prestigious and sensitive post of Chief Secretary for Ireland. Not lost on the British public was the fact that Lord Salisbury just happened to be better known to Arthur Balfour as "Uncle Bob." In the resulting furor over what was seen as an act of blatant nepotism, "Bob's your uncle" became a popular sarcastic comment applied to any situation where the outcome was preordained by favoritism. As the scandal faded in public memory, the phrase lost its edge and became just a synonym for "no problem." you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Gawain 0 #13 October 1, 2003 I too have a question. There's the phrase, "In the name of Sam Hill" or "What in the name of Sam Hill" -- My question: Who is Sam Hill? Then, remember Scooby Doo right? Wasn't it some of those folks that said, "Heavens to mergatroid" -- Where the hell is mergatroid? Sh*t, what is a mergatroid? Meanwhile, my favorite phrase is: "That's the cat's pajamas!" or a variance to provide a compliment of sorts. I can't remember where I heard it, but it rocks and most folks get a smile out of it.So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright 'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life Make light!
