#TieTuesday



For #TieTuesday I thought it would be fun to look at other ways neckties can be used. They are for more than just wearing, or they can be worn in some very different ways.

 

Googling things we can make out of neckties will provide you a plethora of ideas. Here's just one set of ideas. That stuffed snake is super cute! I love the above idea of the teddy bear - it would be so special to make one out of multiple generations of ties from a family - if possible to get a tie from each male from as many generations back as one could.

So get your creative juices flowing and see what you can come up on this #TieTuesday!

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.
