#SundaySchool


Today's #SundaySchool teacher is Eugene Cho. Eugene is a pastor is Seattle, Washington and also the founder of One Day's Wages, a very cool non-profit focused on global poverty. I have a lot of respect for Eugene Cho and his faith. And I'm super appreciative that he shares the wisdom he is gleaning from Christ with those who want to listen.

Eugene is a champion of the widow, the orphan, and the disenfranchised.
I hope you will listen to him and what he has to say about women, the impact of one day's wages, and our desire to change the world.

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.

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.
