Day 303: Support/Assistance

(For Wednesday June 25)

I'm totally stealing my friend's Gratitude Attitude for today.  Once she verbalized it and I started thinking about it I realized I was also grateful for it.  She and I are grateful for the support placed in bathrooms for people who are disabled or injured. Like the bar on the wall next to the toilet. For people with back injuries, hip injuries, and various disabilities this bar is very important in assisting them up and down.  Now.  I don't currently need such assistance but I know people who have needed it in the past and currently need it and my guess is in the future I will need it.  And there are other items of support/assistance available to also help people - all things to be grateful for as they aide in getting something done and helping us stay, well, clean!

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.

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.
