Que Sera Sera

So in my quest to make sure I had at least one song from each letter of the alphabet today I tackle the q's and was reminded of Que Sera Sera.  OF COURSE!  A few artists have done this song but I picked the version from Pink Martini for a couple of reasons. 
1)  I just really really like the name Pink Martini. 
2)  Her version is dramatic, theatrical, and a bit creepy in some of its undertones! 

Whatever will be will be.  The future's not ours to see BUT (oh gosh you totally knew that was coming right?) God does see our future.  He's the one who planned it!  So this song is right on a spiritual level, whatever will be will be according to God's design/plan for each of us.  He says in Matthew 6 to not concern ourselves with tomorrow for today has enough cares of its own.  So in truth que sera sera is a biblical principle that we all could learn and should learn to live by!  :)

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.
