These Dreams

Heart, the girl hair band of the 80's, wasn't one that I listened to a lot but some.  Like this song.  I think I probably know more of their songs than I realize.  Heart is so...funny!  Even though they are girls they really are a hair band like the men were!  In fact, truthfully?  Some of the men were actually prettier than this band - ahahahahahahaha! Anywho, when I feature girl bands from back in my day Heart has to be part of the week.  :)  I wondered what was up with this sister duo so I googled them and found out that just like The Pointer Sisters they are still touring!  Crazy!  In fact they are taking the stage in June with a fave band of mine, Def Leppard!

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. 

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.
