Day 107: Slippers

I'm kind of obsessed with my slippers.  I now take them with me places.  I have strategized how to get away with wearing them at work.  I pretty much always have my slippers with me.  My slippers are the last thing to be taken off and the first thing put on.  Season doesn't matter, I love them equally summer or winter and the in-betweens (which here in Colorado we basically have summer and winter and no in-between).  I love the particular kind that I have so much that when Kohl's puts them on sale (it's where I have found them) and I happen to be there already I will buy a couple of pairs to have in reserve!  I always have my favorite kind of slipper ready! I am being serious when I say I am grateful for my slippers!  They are like a comfort blanket to me.

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.

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.
