Men Make Dinner Day
Does your guy make dinner...ever?  If not, then this day is one for him to give it a go!  There's no reason to be scared, he's got a whole website dedicated to helping him, and other dudes, out.
The man doth protest: The fake holiday is lame, stale, and condescending
The trend of men staying out of the kitchen may be shifting. When Their Workday Ends, More Fathers Are Heading Into the Kitchen
If your guy is the one who makes dinner the majority of the time then why not flip this day and make dinner for him? 
HAHAHAHAHAHA!  I have to include this because it is totally true of my hub and I.
When he makes dinner the kitchen stays relatively clean? When I do?
It's like a bomb has gone off!
Yes, my man happens to make dinner every so often or help me make dinner.
That's my most favorite, when we make it together and are in the kitchen together.

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.

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.
