'Bob's your uncle' - British, basically meaning 'and there it is' or 'there you are' 'there you go'.

The comeback is usually 'and Fanny's your aunt'.

I too am bilingual. My wife is British.

Marc,

In two of your posts on different subjects, you employed the phrase "and Bob's your uncle."
Since this phrase is unknown to me, may I ask: Is this a localism,
or did you lose a bet?
