Hangin' Tough

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  Listening to New Kids on the Block through my daughter's response to them is SO funny!  She thinks I'm crazy for ever liking NKOTB and I tell her they were to me what Justin Bieber is to her.  She looks at me doubtful but it's true!  Tee hee hee...

I hung a poster of NKOTB on my ceiling in my mid-high years and I remember being on the phone with friends talking about each member.  Oh my.  It's almost a requirement of the pre-teen and teen years to have crushes on the most ridiculous bands! 

Today's song is chosen because it is Monday...remember you just gotta hang tough!  AHAHAHAHAHA!  Happy Monday everyone!

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.
