'Bob's your uncle' is a Victorian saying that refers to Sir Robert Peel who set up the first organized UK police system. Essentially if you got yourself in trouble and 'Bob' was your uncle, you would likely make out just fine. Its also why the Brits call police officers 'Bobbies' and also used the term 'Peelers'. And there you have it!
Rachel Weisz ages extremely well! I never did find her seriously attractive when she was younger, ie. Mummy, but with age she has really become a sort of elegant beauty! And the British accent is just the cherry on top!
Yep, you are correct. It is used just like the French say "et voila!"when they have explained the step or steps necessary to achieve some result. "Bob's your uncle" is always preceded by "and" because it is always the dramatic expression of a theoretical realisation achieved after taking the steps described appended to that theoretical description. Unlike "voila!" in French, no one ever says it when actually achieving something or actually bringing something to fruition. It is for the theoretical case only.
I thought bob's you're uncle was when you finished somthing "you've made it" "you're all sorted" or is it one of thoughs sayings that you can say in any situation and everybody british person will get it.
Agreed, I've never heard bob's your uncle used in the way she describes. It's like "you just put the spaghetti with the sauce and bob's your uncle! You've got spaghetti bolognase." the full length of that says is "Bob's your uncle, Fanny's your aunt."
Bob’s your uncle is more of a “there you are” kinda thing. It’s usually said after been given instructions e.g. put a teabag in a mug, pour boiling water on top, remove the teabag, add milk and sugar as needed and bob’s your uncle you have a cup of tea.
I love that they both seem to actually be interested in learning and teaching the slang respectively and it doesn't seem like another forced activity for an interview
@C. Michael " you need to learn the difference between a country and a nation" Like how you need to learn the difference between a nation and a religion?
When Rachel says "Bob's your uncle" - most of us would say (in that particular context) "sod's law"! Sod's Law can be defined as "if something can go wrong, it will". Similar to Murphy's Law. But this is NOT what "Bob's your uncle" means!
Well yea it means that but it also means what she says. "Stop faffing about" "Ugh that was a right faff that was" "Can't be doing with all that faff" - kind of like fuss
I think the main connotation of faff, be it "It was such a faff getting here" as well as "Faffing around" is that excessive time was expended, but all of the "obstacles" were ridiculous and annoyingly trivial things. The time was taken up by a great number of irrelevant and easily solved things that took an unnecessary amount of time to get through.
I think it generally ends up meaning that something took longer than it should have, either because you did things inefficiently or because it turned out to be harder than anticipated.
@@laurenfletcher7032 not strictly true. They're called kopites. The blue side of the city would rage at them being called scousers. And Daniel was raised on the Wirral so we'd probably call him a plasy Scouser (or plastic scouser).
Faff means when something is unnecessarily complex. Annoyingly so: “that was such a faff”. Or it took longer than you expected. Or someone finds something tricky that you find easy: “they made a right faff out of that”. It can also mean sort of time wasting: “faffing about”.
'Bob's your uncle' is thought to refer to two Prime Ministers. There was some speculation that Arthur Balfour got the job because his uncle had been Robert Gascoigne-Cecil, 14th Marquis of Salisbury... 'Bob' being short for Robert....
The Favourite is SUCH A GOOD MOVIE !!! Yorgos Lanthimos is a great director, the 3 actresses are SOOO GOOD and the story is so well written. I Hope it goes well at the oscars 😍❤
Weisz's definition of some of those was sketchy at best. For instance, while she was correct in her definition of 'faff' I think most people would say it meant to do something ineffectually. "Has he finished yet?" "No, he's just faffing about."
Point of order : chock-a-block does not mean "clusterfuck". Chock-a-block means crowded, or a place being very busy or bustling with people. Frequently abbreviated to "chocka".
DrOneOneOne a yes, and a lot of times clusterfuck is used in this with a more negative meaning. “We tried to go to the cinema, but it was a real clusterfuck outside.” Meaning it was a busy, hot mess of a situation.
'Horses for courses' typically references differences in actual capacities, abilities, or possibly deeply held preferences, not just superficial fancies.
Emma being nerdy and excited about something she doesn't get at all is everything
I love the way Rachel is so sensitive that she expresses even the most unpleasant things in the most pleasant manner possible. True Class!!!
I'm only here to admire the charming Rachel Weisz

Bob's your uncle is like 'voila'. You say it after doing something or detailing how to do something.
Yup, she didn't explain it well
Yeah I would’ve explained it like that. Or Like “there you go”
Yep that's how we use it in Australia too.
There you go.. you explained it..
Lol yeah my first language isn't even English and I know what the phrase means
I love how Emma embraced it and kept saying “I’m gonna use that”, love her. 😂❤️
Shes seems quit happy to use these phrases.
I'm glad someone didn't make us Americans look unaccepting of other countries for once.
Bob's your uncle means like bish bash bosh babe, you're all set, bobs ya uncle
Oh well now I perfectly understand it.
How did she get this wrong?!!
Yes, horses for courses literally means that different horses will do well on different race courses. For example some like it dry and fast others like it muddy. Like that different people will like different things and also will excel at different times
Robert's your father's brother. ;)
But British actors probably use it with a degree of irony and then quite naturally translate simply for Americans.
Emma's great little husky voice...and Rachel...she's just lovely.

Thanks. Always wondered what the origin of that was.
This was very interesting and informative, thanks!
Most useful comment I've read in a whole!
*while
erik its wrong though
Can you believe these 2 are 18 years apart in age😀😁 Rachel Weisz ages backwards lol
more unbelievable the fact that Olivia Colman is 4 years YOUNGER than Rachel Weisz
Yeah, she's great. I had a crush on her when I was was teenager in the first Mummy.
She looks old.
I do believe it
And she had a baby in 2018. She is so gorgeous 😍
Ummm.. This is not how we use "Bob's your uncle"
it's like voila, basically.
Bob’s you uncle = There you go
Oh go sit on a tak
Fanny’s your aunt.
I always thought Bob’s Your Uncle means like done deal.
They have really good chemistry!
I could listen to these two talk for hours, they’re both just incredibly brilliant actresses!
3:52 - Emma knows the hand flick! She's one of us.
What does that mean?
Rachel Weisz ages extremely well! I never did find her seriously attractive when she was younger, ie. Mummy, but with age she has really become a sort of elegant beauty! And the British accent is just the cherry on top!
I am a Yank and I know that "Bob's yer uncle" doesn't mean that. I thought it meant something along the lines of "You're all set" or "Good to go!".
You're right.

Kind of. It's more like "...so there you go!" Or "... and there you have it!"
@@larrybaby9377 it's not always preceded by "and", that's rubbish.
I wonder if Emma knew some of the sayings because of her time together with Andrew Garfield.
And she looks absolutely stunning btw
Maybe a quarter of them because Andrew is half-British and Emma is half of the couple. Half x half = quarter.
😭
I love to think Andrew says thinks like bog roll and dench :D
exactly what i was thinking the whole time
Just thought of that
Um, that's not what Bob's your uncle means Rachel!!
Wat does it mean?🤔
She tried her best. Bob's her uncle.
daisyboo came to the comment section to check somebody had said this!! Bobs your uncle is like "there we go, sorted".
Bobs your uncle and fannys your aunt!!!
Bob's your uncle can be used in that sense too. It's basically "There/Here we go".
Aren’t they like EIGHTEEN YEARS apart???? Rachel ages beautifully ❤️
Rachel is so incredible ! Deserves more recognition and great material
Two amazing actresses. Excited to see The Favourite!
don't expect it to be Kubrickian, mate.

It is - she explained it wrong!
I always took it to mean vaguely perplexed as in "Bob's your uncle & Fanny's your aunt"
Yeah same here. “Just put that last piece there and bob’s your uncle!” That kind of thing
How do you not know cheap as chips as a British person 😂
I was thinking the same thing!!
That's first thing i said to myself, i say it all the time.
It wasn’t on the list of ones for her to research the meaning of
Only Posh people dont imo
She’s obviously never seen Bargain Hunt
i love Rachel she is so smart, talented and nice.
Rachel is so classy and charming
I'm pretty amazed that Emma Stone has that 'close' of a fan base without having social media.
they make a great duo, i didn't want this to end
Two beautiful, talented women who do their craft amazingly!! ❣️💋
Totally agree
Cool band bro
" that's like Americans saying that's pretty Streep" I love her! 😂
that would be awesome if they did start using that in the US
After watching this, I'd go with saying "that's pretty Stone" 🙂
Bob’s your uncle is more of a “there you are” kinda thing. It’s usually said after been given instructions e.g. put a teabag in a mug, pour boiling water on top, remove the teabag, add milk and sugar as needed and bob’s your uncle you have a cup of tea.
Voila!
I was triggered by the ‘Bobs your uncle’ explanation. Thank you to all the other commenters for calming me down
I love the vibe these two share😍
Rachel weisz...brilliant actress I loved her in the mummy ..very beautiful ✌️
That's your favourite Weisz movie? You haven't seen The Favourite (or whateve it is called)?
She was yummy in the The Mummy, and now that she has a kid she's a Yummy Mummy
Rachel is a superb actress. One of my favs.
Rachel Weizs looks so young. Beautiful both of them. I'm swedish only knew about Blightly.
I could spend all day listening Rachel saying British words 😍
At the end of this video Rachel had her British citizenship revoked
🤣🤣🤣
Seriously. Emma might've know more than her (e.g. Blighty)
😆
Ms Weisz had her citizenship revoked?? Then off with that diplomat 's blooming head!!!
I love that they both seem to actually be interested in learning and teaching the slang respectively and it doesn't seem like another forced activity for an interview
My husbands a scouser - her husbands James bloody bond 😂
Awesome! Loved it. They are both lovely and funny. Rachael Weisz is so down to Earth
You can tell Rachel's upbringing If she's never heard Cheap as Chips. She was deprived of Barginhunt!
Maybe she had other things to do at 2 o’clock on a Tuesday. 😂 probably hasn’t seen homes under the hammer either!
@littlesmew Early 40s?? She's 48.
My wife loves Bargain Hunt. I always get a kick out of hearing the rather posh Tim Wonnacott pronounce it "Barg-in".
@C. Michael " you need to learn the difference between a country and a nation"
Like how you need to learn the difference between a nation and a religion?
daAnder71 Jew refers to religion but also ethnicity. Its the only religion that has an ethnicity tied to it.

Wow Rachel was my crush during 2000-2010 era . She still is an adorable woman. ❤️
I frickin love Rachel Weisz
Rachel Weisz is ethereally beautifully. Cant take my eyes of her!
Oh Rachel Weisz. She is still so extremely pleasing to look at.
I need to see more of these two having conversation about anything. Can we have just this as a running program?
When Rachel says "Bob's your uncle" - most of us would say (in that particular context) "sod's law"! Sod's Law can be defined as "if something can go wrong, it will". Similar to Murphy's Law. But this is NOT what "Bob's your uncle" means!
This duo was such a brilliant idea -> I love both of those woman : nice, gorgeous, funny and SO TALENTED !!!
I am definitely gonna call things Streep as well as Dench now. And when it's utterly amazing it'll just be bafflingly Andrews.
LOLOL
Faff is when you waste time doing something, you faff about/around.
