Ever come across a saying like this that you hear often, but when you think about makes no sense at all!?

What are some of the ones you hear & think...Umm??

In a Pickle & other idioms that are often heard

Well in my case, being in the "pickle jar" makes pretty clear sense to me (haha).

Is "and bobs your uncle" an idiom?

Like, when people say, "Root beer floats are easy to make, just put the ice cream in the cup and pour the root beer over it and bobs your uncle!"

I love that saying, though
Thanks for this!

I suspect this means that your mother's brother was called Robert.

Lol! Liz, While I actually like Dr. Suess's Cat in the Hat, and I also like PJs...I'm thinking it would be best for me to (in the words of Snaggle Puss) to "exit stage right", before Your Cat returns!

Btw, I'm wondering what your "reaction" would be, when said Cat, bought me to you as a "gift!" (providing i couldn't make it out of the PJs in time) Lol!
