You Belong With Me

Taylor Swift is an amazing artist.  Really!  A year or so ago we watched a docu on her as she prepared for her first ever solo tour and she is amazing on all levels.  For her age she has a great head for not just the creative side of the industry but the business side as well.  She ensures her longevity with her maturity and her music. 
Taylor almost exclusively writes all of her own music and lyrics.  She's been heard saying that most of her songs come from her journals.  That is why the past album that she just released got such press about the songs being about Joe Jonas, etc who she has dated in the past couple of years.  It seems that you can listen to the album and quickly understand which song is about who.  Ha!  Serves Joe Jonas right especially for dumping her via text.  REALLY Joe?  Sheesh.  Anyway.  (I sound like I'm part of Team Taylor don't I?!?  Haha)
Here in the Peninger home we all like Taylor Swift, even the lone man!  He almost has to with three girls living in the house!  :)

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. 

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.
