Where You Lead (I Will Follow)

Until Gilmore Girls came along and used this song as their theme I had never heard it. It's a great song! Where some people may hear it and think Carole King, I hear it and think Gilmore Girls. Oh well! I don't consider that to be horrible seeing as how that is one of my fave shows! ;)
Carole King has made quite an impression on the music scene. She has led the way in many instances. A strong woman with a strong voice that has influenced many musicians. I mean heck you gotta be pretty influential in order to have a whole night on AI dedicated to you and your music! :) But thanks to Carole King we have some amazing music, some amazing songs floating around out there to brighten our days. Some of my other fave's of hers include: I feel the earth move, You've got a friend, It's too late, well I could go on and on. Let's just say I love Carole King! :)

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.
