Question about English (US)
Do you use phrases like “Bob is your uncle” and “Fanny is your aunt” in your daily life? I’m wondering if they are something native speakers would really say in real life. Thanks!

I've never heard "Fanny is your aunt." I don't think I've ever said "Bob's your uncle" but I heard it on TV shows.

@paulf9765 Thank you for your answer! Yeah, I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say it, except on TV and in movies, etc, so I was wondering if it’d be weird to use it in real life
