The Climb

Say what you will about Miley Cyrus but this song is amazing. 
Life is about the climb.  How well will we climb the mountains placed in front of us?  Ironically enough I watched a docu yesterday about a team of disabled people, 5 of them in wheelchairs, that made it to Everest Base Camp in 2003.  The docu was about THEIR climb and it was inspiring.  When we come across people who have climbed well and inspired people along the way then we are motivated to make our own climbs worth it.  It is all about the climb, as this song says. 
One of my favorite scriptures is about climbing well.  It says, "The Lord God is my Strength, my personal bravery, and my invincible army; He makes my feet like hinds' feet and will make me to walk [not to stand still in terror, but to walk] and make [spiritual] progress upon my high places [of trouble, suffering, or responsibility]!" (Habakkuk 3:19 Amplified)
It's all about the climb. 
Happy Monday!

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.
