"Bobs Your Uncle"

Meaning:

A job well done or a successful action.

Origin:

The term Bobs your Uncle dates back to 1887 when Robert Cecil ( Lord Sailsbury) was elected as the British Prime Minister. After being elected Lord Sailsbury appointed Arthur Balfour to the prestegious post of Cheif Secutary of Ireland.

The British public knew Lord Sailsbury was better know by Arthur Balfour as "Uncle Bob". After Belfours appointment by what was blatantly nepotism, the term "Bobs your Uncle" became a sarcastic saying/comment which was applied to any situation determined by favouratism. As time went on and the tale got forgotten, "Bobs your Uncle" got used as a synonym for job done/no problem.
