#SaturdaySmile


Why smile? Well, for obvious reasons it feels better to smile than it does to not. Have you noticed that? A day without much smiling tends to leave me feeling rather blue by the time I go to bed. But if I've engaged my smiling muscles throughout the day I feel way better. But there are some other reasons to smile - some may be surprising to you.

                                                         Today's #SaturdaySmile Focus:
Mercy Ships rock. 
They do a wide variety of medical services - seriously they are an awesome organization. 
They include among their services cleft lip and palate repair 
which is my chosen focus for this saturday smile.

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.
