Play God Day
What does playing God mean?  
Well alrighty then! *wink*
I feel like watching Bruce Almighty today...

We all think we could do a better job than God. But just like Bruce discovered, only God can do what needs to be done and in a time frame that is better than anything we can come up with.  

Isaiah 55:8-9 (NIV)

8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts."

Apricot Day

I admit, I have had very few apricots in my lifetime. They just haven't been something that I have thought about.  I did, however have Strawberry Shortcake's friend, Apricot.  :)

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.
