@Meysamرهادربند I've never heard it. But there must be some parts of the world where it's used - Google has 4.23M hits on it; as opposed to 23.9M for "works like a charm".

@Meysamرهادربند works like a champ is in the eggcorn database. The original is "works like a charm".

@MattЭллен I feel that if that comment is to be useful to Meysam, someone should probably explain what an eggcorn is.

@Meysam: an eggcorn is an accidental alteration of a common idiom to one that sounds similar and logical.
