Cockney Rhyming Slang? edit
I wonder if the source might be Cockney rhyming slang. The WP article mentions the longer version "Bob's your uncle and Fanny's your aunt." Given my understanding of rhyming slang, the "aunt" could rhyme with something related to the meaning such as "can't" or "shan't". Fool4jesus (talk) 18:48, 26 September 2023 (UTC)
Additional Cultural Reference edit
An additional cultural reference is in the series "Yes Minister", Inspector Forrest of the Special Branch when he's informing Jim Hacker of possible methods of assassination, he ends a sentence with, "...and Bob's your uncle -- your late uncle." to which Humphrey and Bernard laugh. 74.98.11.80 (talk) 03:53, 14 February 2024 (UTC)
