I Will Love You Monday (365)

If you type into YouTube's search engine "songs about Mondays" you will get this one, "Monday Monday" by The Mamas & The Papas, and some other random stuff.  I would think that as much as people hate Mondays there would be more songs about that!  :)
I almost picked The Mamas & The Papas...until I decided to give this song a chance.  And I like it!  I've never heard of Aura Dione.  I have no idea where she hails from but she has a lot of qualitites that remind me of Lily Allen and Lady Gaga.  She has a great voice and she doesn't try to cover it up with too much weird stuff.  She's weird and unique (I checked out some of her other videos, she dresses strange but her voice is great!) 
I'm pretty sure the song is referring to the "you" as a person and not the day Monday BUT since it never clearly specifies I decided to make it all about Monday today!  If you listen to the words it really could become about trying to love the day Monday.  :)  And that's not even that much of a stretch!  
Mondays are funny to me.  Poor Mondays.  They get such a bad rap.  I decided a couple of years back to quit hating on Mondays and embrace them.  After all, Psalm 118:24 says (emphasis mine), "This IS the day the Lord has made, let us REJOICE in it and be glad!"  And I'm pretty sure that scripture includes the hated, dreaded Mondays... :)
I choose to rejoice in Mondays and when I look at it through the eyes of God then they aren't all that bad!  
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.
