Bob's your uncle

[Faithless]

What are the Asian replacements for common relatively clean slang phrases like --

"Bob's your uncle"? In Japanese, I think it would be daijobu.

The whole "Bob's your uncle" thing sort of turks my nurkle -- like I'm supposed to understand that darn anglophrase.

Fair to middling?

Whole nine yards?

The hell? I'd never even heard the phrase "Bob's your uncle" before.=P Nevertheless, good resource!

Hehe.

You've not been in meetings with middle-aged (or so) white folk who, when asked if everything is okay, would say, "Yeah, yeah, Bob's your uncle"?

But what happens when your uncle's name is Bob?

[Leinad]

um.... not that good at my first language, but here it goes;

'bob nin noye uncle iya':biggrin:

Translating slang can be painful :frown:
