Day 352: WhatsApp

(For Wednesday August 13)

So a bestie of mine lives in a land far, far away.  It might as well be a galaxy! She was back in the States this summer for about a month and told me about this app on smartphones that allows us to hear each other's voices for FREE.  So we can leave each other little messages for FREE.  Across the miles and oceans that separate us we can communicate with our voices for FREE.  This is a big deal! No international rates to pay on our cell plans, no lag time. I can leave her a message at my afternoon and her early morning (I think) and she'll get it when she wakes up! FOR FREE. To say that today my Gratitude Attitude is for the WhatsApp is probably a little obvious at this point.  :) What's an app that you are truly grateful for?

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.

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
