became a common idiomatic phrase meaning "the name describes
exactly what it is". "As advertised. What it says on the
product's packaging."
Used
for saying that someone or something is exactly what they seem to be,
with no hidden qualities,aims, etc.
Used
for anything whose name or title is self-explanatory.
Used
to say that something is as good or effective as it claims to be, or
that it really does what it claims to do. This expression is
especially used when you are comparing publicity and advertisements
with actual products.
