"Say, your uncle wouldnt be named Bob, would he? ;-)"
As in "Bob's yer uncle?" Is that a figure of speech outside of Canada?

...And Bob’s your uncle is an expression of unknown origin, commonly used in Great Britain and Commonwealth countries. Typically, someone says it to conclude a set of simple instructions, similar to the French expression “et voilà !”.
