Bob's your uncle! I don't know what it means, I think it's an exclamation of something good, please correct me if I'm wrong. I like it because I have a brother Bob. So if I told my son "Bob's your uncle" it would be a statement of fact. Otherwise, almost any insult sounds better in British slang.

I somehow acquired "bugger" at some point from the UK in-laws, so that's my fave. Everyone I know in the UK laughs at my American voice saying it. So it at least amuses people :-) Oh, and I referred to BoJo as "too much of a k**b to be a prick". (This, FYI, did not amuse my Brexiteering English in-laws, but the Scots ones loved it.)
