For Saturday, January 15: Dizzy

I have no explanation except all day on Saturday this song was stuck in my head!  I've said it before, I grew up on this kind of music even though by the time I was listening to it they called it "Golden Oldies". 
I woke up on Saturday morning and headed to the grocery store at 7 am.  I didn't get back home from grocery shopping until 11:30 am and was wiped out!  I suppose, even thought the song has to do with love, I was singing about being dizzy with stuff to do!!  AHAHAHAHAHA!
I do like this song.  I like the sentiment behind it.  New love does make one a bit dizzy, feeling intoxicated with emotion. 
Heck, I just love all the "golden oldies"!

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment. 

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.
