One Day Too Late

I believe Skillet has already landed on this experiment but they had a song that fit this week's theme so well so they get to be on it again!  :)
I love Skillet.  They are great musicians and do a successful cross-over between Christian and secular radio.  In fact many of their songs have been used as TV show theme songs, on movie soundtracks (like the newest installment of Transformers), etc. 
Today they contribute to my theme of moments of life.  The main idea behind Skillet's version is that tomorrow could be one day too late and as soon as we let the moment slip away it becomes part of the past, we can't do anything about it.  So when we are faced with moments and we hesitate we should consider the cost of what would happen if we let it go without doing something about it.  We can't erase moments and we can't rewind them either. 
So what will you do with the moments life hands you today?

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. 

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.
