    For those who do not know, 'And Bob's your Uncle' is a phrase commonly used in Ireland, the United Kingdom and Commonwealth countries that means "and there it is" or "and there you have it".
    Typically, someone says it to conclude a set of simple instructions or when a result is reached.
    Bob's your uncle & Fanny's your aunt

    Original meaning of "Bob's your Uncle" was that if Bob, (Robert Cecil), was your Uncle you were in clover.
    Or on a pig's back.
    Or in the lap of luxury
    Or living high off the hog
    Or well heeled
    Or Loaded
    Or on easy street

    Better than a slap in the face with a wet fish.
    When I left home I had to stop saying this, I had to explain it so often.

    A 'tom' job... meaning an easy job... eg; if a tradesman got a handy job which paid well and required little work he'd call it a 'tom' job.........

    Last last one !!......... To 'root around' in Ireland usually means to search for something in your house, or 'root around' in a market, antique shop etc. Many years ago in Australia I realised that to 'root around' meant to play the ladies and basically f**k around........Big surprise on the face of my host when I told him I was going to have a 'root around' Sydney...
