Like Humans Do

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!  I was very uninspired today so I was scrolling through my itunes seeing if anything would hit me and this song was listed.  I have NEVER, and I mean never, heard this song before.  I have NO idea how it has landed in my itunes, nobody in my family knows anything about it either!  What first caught my eye was the album this song comes from is titled, "Look Into The Eyeball" and my friend Judy and I have a long-standing joke about eyeballs.  But seriously.  Why is this song in my itunes and where in the world did it come from?!?  Tee hee hee...

David Bryne's song, "Like Humans Do" is a simple song about well, humans.  We breathe in and we breathe out and in the midst of the in and out we live our days.  All humans do it no matter where they are at in the world. It is a universal fact that we live our days as we breathe in and out. 

So breathe in.  And now breathe out.  And live your day!

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. 

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.
