What does it mean when people say "word" followed by someone's name?

Feel free to add other definitions, for Bob's your uncle etc

I always thought it meant that's the truth. But for lazy people who wanted to use one word instead of three. Or 4, if you make that's into that is...

Ok so it means the truth.

I thought it's like a summon, like you've done something bad and someone says "word" to make you come to them for scolding

Bob’s your uncle stems from the time when Lord Salisbury (Robert Cecil) was succeeded as Prime Minister by his nephew Arthur Balfour in 1902

"Bob’s your uncle stems from the time when Lord Salisbury (Robert Cecil) was succeeded as Prime Minister by his nephew Arthur Balfour in 1902 "

I'm assuming he was married to a Fanny? As in, "Bob's your Uncle, Fanny's your Aunt".

I believe it's a sort of an equivalent of "true that".

Heard it many times in US movies.

To the best if my knowledge I've never heard of it. That probably means I'm going to hear it frequently now.

Do people really use these phrases by the way?

I've heard john thomas a few times but recently been made aware of gordon bennet and billy no friends.

Who came up with those

“Bob’s your uncle” to me means, there you go or there you have it

Billy no mates is how we say it

It’s old slang, just like Cockney rhyming slang. It’s dying out but I prefer the old sayings rather than some of the new ones

Why oh why does “sick” now mean something is good

I think you mean “word Bob” ? If so then someone wants to talk to you privately away from your current surroundings. It’s laziness instead of saying “can I have a word please Bob”
