    'Spanner' came into use in the 1630s, referring to the tool for winding the spring of a wheel-lock firearm. From German Spanner (n.), from spannen (v.) ("to join, fasten, extend, connect"), from Proto-Germanic *spannan, from PIE root *(s)pen- ("to draw, stretch, spin"). Thank you Wikipedia.

    bob's your uncle means "that was easy" because it derives from the well known case of nepotism that was the Robert Peele, where Peele gave his nephew easily got a lot of jobs in governments despite not being very good at any of them. Robert Peele also set up the uk's first police force, which is where bobby's come from. Although dpenending on where you're from nicked can also mean to steal something

      the idea is once you know the fraise you don't use the second rhyming part only the first word . telephone is dog and bone so you would say the first word = can i use your DOG to make a call. loaf of bread = head so if you want to tell someone to use their head [think] = come on mate use your LOAF . Barnet Fair = Hair so if you want to tell someone to comb their hair . you would say go and comb your BARNET . Boat race = FACE so you could say that's a big spot on your BOAT is it a boil . Plates of meat = Feet. so you could say my plates are killing me . Sky rockets =pockets so you could say get your hands out of your SKYS etc etc it takes quite a while to get to know them all as with all things you tend to learn them growing up. But if my plates are killing me i will take off my daises = daisy roots = Boots and go for a ride in me JAM jar =Car

    The reason for calling policemen Bobbies is that the first Metropolitan police force in England was founded in 1829 by Sir Robert Peel, Robert is often shortened to Bob, also police have been referred to as Peelers for the same reason.

    "Bob" is also slang for a shilling. It's antiquated in the UK, since they've gone to only having pence and pounds, but Kenya and Tanzania have the shilling as their unit of money. Singular and plural are the same, so "a bob" and "twenty bob".

    The saying 'the dogs bollocks' goes way way back to the 1700's from a printing press machine that was used in the UK.
    one part of the printing machine was called a dog and if this was aligned perfectly the term 'the dogs bollocks' was used.

    I'll bet Bob there won't understand my rhyming slang when I say I'm having smoked fanny for breakfast. Fanny was a famous British TV cook in the 1960s. Her full name was Fanny Craddock, which of course rhymes with haddock and that's what I'm having for breakfast, smoked haddock!

    Bollocks, can refer to a priest on account of their sermons, so technically it´s not a swear word. Dog´s Bollocks comes from "Box Deluxe" - the best Meccano set that you used to be able to buy. "Three sheets to the wind" - drunk on account that you´re walking like a sailing ship out of control (you're best looking it up.) Are you watching The Inbetweeners on 4 on demand? That´ll get you clued up a UK slang. Bristolians have some brilliant slang.

      Saying dates back the beginning of the last century. Robert Gascoyne-Cecil, Marquess of Salisbury was the last Prime Minister in Queen Victoria's reign. When he resigned he was succeeded as Prime Minister by his nephew, Arthur Balfour. So at the time cynical people said " Balfour was serving as - whatever political office he held - and Bob's your uncle he is Prime Minister.

    There's no real "UK" or "British" slang. Slang it far too regional around here. Wherever you go in the UK, you will hear regional variations. So, for instance, for my 10 square miles, have a look at this site for some interesting alternatives. www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/whats-on-news/birmingham-black-country-accent-phrases-6477059
