Day 331: Crocs

(For Wednesday July 23)

Yes, Crocs. But NOT these Crocs.


I never did like those or even try them.  But when Crocs started making stylish shoes that were just as comfortable as the originals I took a second look.  When people find out that the two pairs of Crocs that I have are Crocs they are always surprised because they are stylish and not clunky.  My two pairs of Crocs have cushioned my feet as I have walked all over New York City, Washington DC, places in Italy and Greece, the ruins of Ephesus.  Best shoes ever. AND easy to clean!  I am not just grateful for these comfy and stylish shoes but I love them.  If you haven't looked at Crocs lately I suggest you do, if for no reason to see what they have done with the styling!

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.
