i've only seen this term come up in discussion recently here on BF, so maybe it's not exclusive to BF or the bike world of jargon in general, however....."bob's your uncle!"...meaning, from what i understand, "that answers/fixes that"

oh, and two terms being more familiar (if they're relevant?)
1) "masher/mashing" = one with or the tendency to cycle using the highest gears possible
2) "spinner/spinning" = one with or the tendency to cycle using lower gears and higher cadence
