High of 75

This song has been pretty much stuck in my head all week!  I alluded to it in an FB status update earlier this week.
Things for me haven't been sunny with a high of 75 in quite a while but this week I feel like I'm climbing back toward that forecast.  I think I'm hovering around partly sunny with highs in the mid 60's.  :)  Definite improvement over stormy and highs in the 20's. 
When dark clouds threaten your horizon look for the sonshine.  I did and I was, I am, always able to catch a glimpse of it peeking out from the storm clouds.  The son is faithful to always make an appearance.  Not sure of that?  Let's talk! 
Happy Friday!

High of '75

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.
