Two Princes

I LOVE THIS SONG!!  It's a great song to start off the work week because it's just fun and silly!  The Spin Doctors are fun.  I think they are great.  Very kooky and fun spirited.  They make me super happy.  Even my rocker hub likes the song "Two Princes".  I remember when I first heard this song I was hooked and would play it at loud levels in my car while driving.  And I would play it over and over again.  I obviously truly love it!!  And I love The Spin Doctors.  They are kooky in a different way than say The Talking Heads and I prefer their kookiness to Talking Heads.  :)  All a matter of preference I know but I think The Spin Doctors are a great way to kick off the work week!!  Have fun!

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.
