Hardly, it's slang. And if you need to really need to know, I won't go into details here. Look it up in the following link.

The phrase Uncle Tom Cobley and all is used in British English as a humorous or whimsical way of saying et cetera, often to express exasperation at the large number of items in the list. The phrase comes from a Devon folk song Widecombe Fair, collected by Sabine Baring-Gould. Its chorus ends with a long list of people – "For I want for to go to Widecombe Fair, With Bill Brewer, Jan Stewer, Peter Gurney, Peter Davy, Dan'l Whiddon, Harry Hawke, Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all."

It is basically a slang word for ones posterity, or buttocks.  It was more commonly used in the 1930's in the black community.  Another similar word is DIASTICURIOUS!

What the heck does that mean?

It's a bastardization (and yes, that's a real word) of the French farewell "à toute à l'heure" (meaning basically "see you soon") which is pronounced "a too ta leur".\n\nApparently it was popularized by British who had difficulty with the pronunciation of the French expression and shortened it to "Toodles," which was much easier for them to pronounce.

Usually its "are you a friend of Dorothy?". Quite a bit outdated from when homosexuality was a criminal offence and you could be jailed. But it was code for those in the know, if someone was gay or not. And it was a Wizard of Oz reference.

Like a tee is also interchangeable with to a tee.\n\n"We use this expression very commonly in the sense of minute exactness, perfection; as, the coat fits to a T; the meat was done to a T. \n\nIt is easy to dismiss the origin of the expression as, I am sorry to say, some of our leading dictionaries do, by attributing it to the draftsman's T-square, which is supposed to be an exact instrument, but the evidence indicates that the expression was in common English use before the T-square got its name. \n\n'To a T' dates back to the seventeenth century in literary use and was undoubtedly common in everyday speech long before any writer dared to or thought to use it in print. But it is likely that the name of the instrument, 'T-square,' would have been in print shortly after its invention, yet the first mention is in the eighteenth century. \n\nThe sense of the expression corresponds, however, with the older one, 'to a tittle,' which appeared almost a century earlier, and meant 'to a dot,' as in 'jot or tittle.' Beaumont used it in 1607, and it is probably that colloquial use long preceded his employment of the phrase." From "2107 Curious Word Origins, Sayings & Expressions from White Elephants to a Song and Dance" by Charles Earle Funk (Galahad Books, New York, 1993).\n\nI use the source below for all of my phrase origin needs.

Nothing. It is a phonetic abbreviation. It means "to come" which is just what you said.

Well it does come from the song Yankee Doodle Dandy but the question is where does Yankee come from. You Yanks called us Limeys and that is because our sailors used to eat limes to protect against scurvy on their long sea voyages.\nBTW the Cockney (London Dialect) for a Yank is a  "Septic" from "Septic Tank" which in true Cockney rhyming slang  form the "Tank" rhymes with Yank but the first un-rhyming part is used, Apple and Pears meanind Stairs becomes Apples, Currant Bun meaning Sun becomes Currant,Frog and Toad meaning  Road becomes Frog.\nSo 'the Septic went up the Apples and had a Lemon' translates to 'the Septic Tank went up the Apple and Pears to have a Lemon Squash' i.e. 'the Yank went up the stairs and had a wash!'. Whole conversations can be had using Cockney rhyming slang!!\nGuess it doesn't answer your question but goes to show how bizarre our language is!

I dont know what "Tonks" means, but she was a charachter in hairy potter if thats what your talking aobut.  the meaning i couldnt find on dicitonary.com or AmericanBaby, so im hoping i dont look like an idiot by posting a bunch of random info.  heres the hairy potter stuff.  you probably wont want to read all of it though.  the name meaning is in there.\n\nNymphadora Tonks\n\nNymphadora Tonks by Jenny Dolfen.Born: c. 1973 (see Tonks timeline, below)\nAncestry: 'Tonks' is considered a "half-blood" because her father was a muggle-born wizard.\nMother: Andromeda (Black) Tonks, sister of Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange.\nFather: Ted Tonks, a muggle-born wizard.\n\nHair: various colors, changed at will.\nEyes: dark and twinkling.\nDistinguishing features: as a Metamorphmagus, Tonks can assume many different appearances. Her actual appearance is that of a pretty, young woman with a pale, heart-shaped face.\nName meaning: A "nymph" is a minor divinity of nature in Greek and Roman mythology represented as beautiful maidens dwelling in the mountains, forests, trees, and waters.\nCareer: Auror and member of the present-day Order of the Phoenix. Part of the Advance Guard that helps Harry in his escape from the Dursley house (OP3-9, 35). Fought at the Department of Mysteries battle and was seriously injured.\nInterests: popular music (judging by the 'Weird Sisters' t-shirt).\nHouse: unknown, 1984-1991.\nPatronus: Previous one unknown; changes to "immense four-legged creature" (HBP8). Lupin guesses that it changed because she received a profound shock (HBP15).\n\nNymphadora, or 'Tonks,' as she prefers to be called, is an Auror and a member of the Order of the Phoenix. She was not part of the original Order of the Phoenix as she was too young. Tonks was part of the Advance Guard that helps Harry in his escape from the Dursley house; she carried his trunk slung under her broom. (OP3-9, 35)\n\nTonks is the daughter of Sirius Black's favorite cousin, Andromeda, who married a Muggle-born wizard, Ted Tonks. Andromeda was removed from the tapestry of the Black family tree as a result of her marriage  (so Kreacher does not feel the need to obey her even though she is family). That means that Tonks' aunts are Narcissa Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange, whether any of them wants to admit it or not.\n\nWhile at Hogwarts, Tonks was not made a Prefect. She said that it was because she lacked certain "necessary qualities," specifically the ability to behave herself. However, she must have been a very capable student in spite of her fondness for mischief, since becoming an Auror requires high marks in many subjects. After leaving Hogwarts in the summer of 1991, Tonks had to undergo an additional three years of training to become an Auror, only qualifying a year ago (summer of 1994).

I believe it is a British dialect called "cockney".  Me and my husband have this same arguement everytime those commercials come on! This is weird, but go to this website, it's the only one I could find with an example in audio (its a story told in cockney, sounds like the gecko!) You have to listen for a minute or so to get to it.
