#SunnySunday



Needing a dose of sunshine during this month of winter? This might sound familiar because I asked a similar question last month! But in these months of winter when the temperatures can dip below freezing and the air has a snap to it, one can't help but think of the sunshine and long a little bit for a soak in some rays. It seems February is a popular month for people to want, perhaps need, to travel to warmer climates for a few days.

 


So I Googled sunny locations and came up with some options. Some require a passport, and others don't.

Maybe, like me, you can't travel - domestic or abroad - to some sunshine. Might I suggest a Google search of sunny days and just spending some time looking at places of sunny days? That might help a bit.

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. 

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.
