   "'Er indoors" is a Cockney slang term for one's wife or partner, often with a   
   humorous nod to traditional gender roles where the woman manages the home.   
   ​​   
      
   The phrase "as did 'er indoors" thus means "as did the wife" or "so did my   
   wife/partner," implying she did the same action as mentioned earlier.

   Origins  ----     Popularized by the British TV series Minder (1979–1994),   
   where the unseen character "Er Indoors" is Arthur Daley's domineering wife, it   
   entered the Oxford English Dictionary.
