O the Blood

Blood.  Makes people squeamish for the most part.  I'm not sure that even Doctors LIKE blood, they just stomach it better than most! :) 
I can't do blood.  Whenever my girls get hurt and there is blood and their Dad is home he gets the job of cleaning them up.  I just can't do blood. 
I know one person who did blood and he did it for you and me.  He willingly gave his blood to cleanse us from unrighteousness.  He willingly gave his blood so that we wouldn't have to.  He willingly gave his blood, and his life, so that we could have life everlasting.  His blood was your victory and my victory.  It's the only blood that doesn't make me squeamish but incredibly grateful and humbled. 
Need a transfusion?  I know a very willing donor.  If you'd like to hear more I'd be happy to share!

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.
