词组 | Bob's your uncle |
释义 | Bob's your uncle everything is all right UK, 1937 Most commentators offer the relationship between Prime Minister Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, 3rd Marquis of Salisbury (1830–1903) and his nephew Arthur Balfour (1848–1930) as the source of the phrase; the former (Uncle Bob), in 1887, controversially (allegedly nepotistically) appointed the latter as secretary for Ireland. This idiom, very familiar in the UK, is all but unknown in the US so that when Jann Turner-Lord published A Dictionary of Slang for British Mystery Fans in 1992 it was entitled Bob’s Your Uncle.
