Strange Expressions (28)
This is a catchphrase which seemed to arise out of nowhere and yet has had a long period of fashion and is still going strong. It’s known mainly in Britain and Commonwealth countries, and is really a kind of interjection. It’s used to show how simple it is to do something: “You put the plug in here, press that switch, and Bob’s your uncle!”.
Forgot to give credit for that: worldwidewords.org

Anyone know the answer for sure? Or do you know of any other strange expressions that we use as Canadians? It would be great if you could provide your strange expression, and what it actually means.
