I'll be there for you

Yesterday I posted a whole bunch of pics from mostly High School and it has been so fun to get everyone's response to them! We've been having a good time "talking" about our school days. And since then I have been humming this song. It just seems kind of fitting. Now I could have picked Michael W Smith's "Friends" but this song seems to fit us much better as we are beginning to stare down our 20th reunion! :)

In addition to my classmates reminding me of this song I have a confession to make. I like Friends. A LOT! I know, I know. Horrible, so horrible but I can't help it I love that show! I've had a lot of people question my faith because of my love for the show. And I just need to say "REALLY?" Anyone who knows me well knows that I am mature enough in faith and life to not watch the show and think that sleeping around with a bunch of people is okay, etc. I mean c'mon. And if you see that the way I behave in life seems like a Friends episode then by all means pull me aside and say something but if not then cut me some slack and trust that I have enough maturity to watch the show and just get a laugh out of it! And just for that I have also included one of my fave clips from Friends, The Apartment Game. SO FUNNY!!

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.
