Silly. It's what's good for you!

Take time every day to do something silly.  Philips Walker

I think today's quote is important to heed for our mental and emotional health.  Not to mention for our relationships. Who wants to be around a sour puss all the time?  Be silly!  Laugh!  Enjoy the simple things life offers!  Be able to let loose and let your guard down for a moment or two.  There are so many silly things, find one and do it.
A bestie of mine and I are great at doing silly things together.  About a year ago we decided to create a Facebook page for our imaginary friend, Little Loretta.  We gave her quite the informational page and then we decided to invite our friends to be her friend.  Silly?  Very and it sent us home that night with smiles on our faces and a little lighter in spirit.
When was the last time you did something silly?  Has it been awhile?  Do you feel like a sour puss?  Do the people in your life treat you like you are a sour puss?  Do something silly today and turn it around!  It's good for your spirit!

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.
