Day 317: Diffuser Accessory

When you have natural curly hair you have to really pamper it and coax it so it doesn't go frizzy and weird on you. I have natural curly hair. This means I need to use product that pampers my curls and keeps them moisturized. I need to use a diffuser on my blow dryer so the air evenly distributes and plays nice with my curls instead of frizz them out. I am incredibly grateful for my diffuser. I travel with it and when I can't I experience "hair woes". I realize this is a first world kind of Gratitude Attitude but when you've got hair like mine this is a sincere gratefulness. :)

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.

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.
