#MeatlessMonday


Today go meatless for your meals - if not for you then for the environment. Did you know that just skipping one day of meat improves our environment in ways that are incomprehensible? So if every person would just skip one day of meat who knows what kind of improvements would happen for our environment. No really, I'm being totally serious. I mean, we can do one day - just a 24 hour period - of no meat right? In the end it's not a matter of can, it's a matter of will we?

Google is a great resource for our lives these days - we can just Google "meatless meal recipes" so try that for some tasty dishes or check out my Pinterest board for some that have caught my eye.

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. 

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.
