Manic Monday

Oh Bangles, how I loved thee back in the day!  I think I played my Bangles cassette tape until it wore out.  Who doesn't love a good girl band?  :) 
I was reminded of this song last week during my middle school years soundtrack journey in the coffee house and knew it had to be for Monday...of course! 
The Bangles were a rare band back in their day.  They made a pretty big splash for their time but unfortunately didn't have sustainability.  They were talented, no doubt about that but as I watched a few of their videos this morning I noticed something.  They hardly ever smiled! What's up with that?  Smile girls!  :)  Oh well. 
Here's to Monday, hope it's not manic for you!

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.
