#FRIENDSFriday


I remember the last episode of Friends - watching it live and hardly believing a decade had passed since it had entered into the culture with its wit and its stars and its Gen-X display of life. 

It ended in 2004 and in 2014, when the show turned 20 it was revived in the media with interviews and flashbacks and memes and all things Friends. Netflix started streaming it in most markets and a whole new fan base was born.

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."
