Bob’s your uncle (and fanny’s your aunt)

This phrase means that something will be successful. It is the equivalent of ‘and there you go,’ or as the French say ‘et voilà!’. Adding the ‘and fanny’s your aunt’ makes you that much more British.

For example:

A: “Where’s the Queen Elizabeth Pub?”

B: “You go down the road, take the first left and Bob’s your uncle — there it is on the corner!”
