Men Make Dinner Day
Does your guy make dinner...ever?  If not, then this day is one for him to give it a go!  There's no reason to be scared, he's got a whole website dedicated to helping him, and other dudes, out.
The man doth protest: The fake holiday is lame, stale, and condescending
The trend of men staying out of the kitchen may be shifting. When Their Workday Ends, More Fathers Are Heading Into the Kitchen
If your guy is the one who makes dinner the majority of the time then why not flip this day and make dinner for him?

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.

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.
