Johnny Appleseed Day
Happy Birthday Johnny Appleseed!  If he were still alive today he would be 240 years old!  Clearly that wasn't going to happen.  Ha!
Back in March we really got to know Appleseed so I'll lead you back to that post for info on this guy.
Today to celebrate Appleseed maybe have some Apple Cake, Apple or Hard Cider, and anything else apple you can think of!  Johnny also loved the Word of God so reading a bit of the Bible wouldn't be such a bad idea either.  *wink*

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.
