#SaturdaySocial




Have you ever heard of or participated in a Progressive Dinner? I love the idea of them and I've participated in one - sort of. It was like a modified version of one but fun nonetheless. If you haven't heard of them it goes like this - you and friends travel from house to house eating different parts of a meal. One house is the hors d'oeuvres - or tapas, another is the salad, and so forth. You can swap passengers in cars between houses so people get a chance to mingle with everyone, you could play some simple games at one house, and other small ice breaker activities just to add to the fun. You could make the dinner a particular theme for the food and/or any decorations. 

Here are some ideas to help you plan your very own progressive dinner for a saturday social:

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. 

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.

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.
