#SaturdaySwag


Today's #SaturdaySwag is stuff we all get.


This is the kind of stuff that we get as give-aways such as samples or trial sizes of products, at conventions or events. And the stuff can range from dollar store items to the pair of Nike's not yet available to the public. 

Confession: I LOVE LOVE LOVE swag bags - giving stuff to people. I personally could care less if I get one but I love creating them and putting them together and handing them out. I love taking a theme and seeing how creative I can get with it. I've done swag bags for all sorts of events - birthday parties of course, Welcome to Colorado - wedding themed and business trip themed, workplace relief themes, road trip themed, etc. Any opportunity that pops up for me to create a swag bag for a group of people I am all about it. 

How do you feel about swag bags? Do you love them? Hate them? Something in-between them?

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.
