Zombie Love

My friend, Emily Gray, is one of the funniest people you will EVER meet.  I promise!  She has us in hysterics on a daily basis through her blog.  She works at Young Life and is not just funny but honestly one of the coolest people I will ever have the honor of knowing.  Seriously.  Last week she wrote a blog about her sympathy for Zombies.  It's a must read so click here.  We all loved it.  Another friend, Kenny, loved it so much he requested (apparently) a song to be made out of it.  She complied.  And so I "let" her have yesterday to launch her world premiere of the song (okay, I had NO idea until yesterday she even did it but still I let her have the day!) but today I give it the dubious honor of being on my little 'ole experiment.  So without further ado I give you... Zombie Love

(Sidenote:  Thanks to Emily I get to have at least one song on my experiment that starts with a Z but that in NO WAY influenced me to highlight her song.  Yeah...in no way...WINK)

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.
