"Bob was right" would be a good framed reminder


Is "Praise Bob" still a thing?


Well, now that I’ve literally just now returned to this mess of a planet I would sure hope so!


As an Aussie, this hilariously augments a phrase used commonly here: "Bob's your uncle"

(meaning roughly: "and there it is" / "and there you have it")

Even more hilariously, I have an uncle Bob.


Also used in the UK. Bob can be an auntie too.


If you want to confuse a non-native English speaker (like an American) "<do thing> and Robert's your mothers brother"


Sounds exactly like something Jinyang would say.

And of-course, Erich is a lying person. :D


I seem to remember back in the 1990s reading a research paper about a theorem proover that used the phrase "And Bob's your uncle" to indicate success. A query was initiated by typing "Is that a fact".
