The phrase "socked in" originated in military aviation during World War II, referring to weather conditions that obstruct visibility, particularly when clouds or fog envelop an area, making it difficult for pilots to navigate. The term likely derives from the idea of being "socked" or trapped in by the weather, similar to being confined or restricted. Over time, it has been adopted in broader contexts to describe situations where visibility or access is severely limited, often due to adverse conditions.

An American boxer named Norman Selby (1873-1940) adopted "Kid McCoy" as his professional name and used the phrase "The Real McCoy" to distinguish himself from another fighter named "McCoy." Although not certain, this appears to be the origin of the phrase, which expanded into American English to mean "the genuine article."
The phrase "bob on" is believed to originate from British slang, particularly in the context of being exactly right or on target. Its exact etymology is unclear, but it may have connections to the word "bob," meaning to move swiftly or directly, suggesting precision. The term gained popularity in the late 20th century and is often used in informal conversations to indicate that something is correct or perfectly aligned.
