Hoedown Throwdown

It's time I make the public confession. I love Hannah Montana! No, really I do. :) I watch episodes BY MYSELF and ON PURPOSE! :) So it was time to make the confession and put a song up on this blog! Here's another confession. My kindred, Hillary, and I really considered learning the Hoedown Throwdown dance for her wedding reception! :) No, really we did because Hillary loves Hannah as much as I do! We have been known to cuddle up on the couch together and watch Hannah. True story, ask our hub's!

Okay get over the fact that everyone just magically knew this song and the dance the minute Hannah, er I mean Miley, began singing it. It's fun and a great song to kick off the new work week!

Happy Monday y'all! :)

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.

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.
