The One

Sir Elton John.  It totally fits him.  :)  Elton John is one of those artists that I have a mild like for.  I'm not really into his music at all but every so often he's recorded a song that I dig.  He's entertaining, that's for sure!
The One is about that moment when you find "the one".  When he or she looks at you and eyes lock and so do hearts and you both just know.  Is that reality?  Every so often yes but not always.  The knowing definitely happens by the time you have both agreed to say "I do" to one another.  And knowing is important because there will be times in your 24/7 life together that you wonder if you did the right thing and then you can fall back on the knowledge that you DO know that he or she is the one.

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.
