Marry Me

HOLY SMOKES!!  I love love love this song!  Thanks to my Emmy for introducing me to this song and to Train.  I haven't listened to them before! 
If my hub and I ever renew our vows we are playing this song as one of the ceremony tunes.  What a great declaration of commitment and love.  I love the line, "You'll wear white and I'll wear out the words I love you."  Oh man.  What a great song!  It makes me think of my hub.  He wears out the words, "I love you"!  And I should probably quit dismissing them every time he says them and let him continue to speak it over me as much as he can!  :)  And maybe I should start saying the words a little more and try to wear them out with him!  He also is constantly telling me I'm beautiful and I dismiss those words way too easily.  So thanks Emmy for the song, I'm convicted by it!  I gotta start believing my hub's words to me a little more! :) 
I LOVE THIS SONG!! 

Marry Me (this is so great! It is a surprise marriage proposal!)

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.

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.
