Let it out

In today's culture we are encouraged to hide who we are, what we believe, any weaknesses.  Disagree?  Take a closer look, rather take a closer listen, to the messages we are sent daily by the media, by television programs, by various publications, by celebrities, and yes, by the Church.  People say "just be yourself" but when someone dares to actually try it they are shot down, judged, harassed, or name your own adjective.  

I love this song because from the first words you know what the message is.  You know that Chris & Conrad are giving us encouragement to swim upstream, to defy the message of the world and live out the message of Christ.  To allow freedom to define us rather than the bondage of definitions that the world, the Church, and yes, we ourselves have said we are.  

Do you know who you are?  Do you want to find freedom from what holds you back from who you know you are?  Then LET IT OUT, lay it at the cross of Christ, and let the embrace of Christ usher you into the freedom of who you are created to be!

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.

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. 

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.
