What's a good day?

You know it was a good day if you didn't hit or bite anyone.  Nathanial Parizek, Age 4

Can I get a witness?  :)  Sometimes it's the best we can do in our days, not hit or bite (or in my case pinch) anyone!  Some days we need a little attitude check and then adjustment.  And for the days that we can't get a grip on our attitude I would suggest a stress ball, a glass of wine, a pillow to scream into - to hit - to bite - or to pinch, or whatever will keep you from doing what you are oh so tempted to do.  :)  Again, can I get a witness?

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.

A dime a dozen

"It's said that in the year 1796, the first U.S. dimes were produced for circulation. Hence, it would make sense for this phrase to originate sometime after." Read more here .  Today the phrase carries the meaning that something is cheap or without value if it can be lumped in with other similar or exactly-like things. It's more of an insult than anything.
