#SaturdaySwag


Today's #SaturdaySwag is still wondering and guessing. 

What is something you are still wondering and guessing about? Maybe it's something your parents told you when you were younger and you still believe it but every time you mention it someone looks at you strange and you wonder if maybe something isn't right. Like a pet went to live on a farm or if you swallow your gum it will stay in your stomach for 7 years. 


So today let's see if we can get down to the truth of some of those things that we think might be true and aren't sure so we have also told the same possible lies to children in our lives. *wink*

Are you still wondering and guessing any of these?

17 lies your parents told you as a kid (that you still kinda believe)
21 Lies Parents Tell Their Kids: Ranked from “NBD” to “gonna need therapy.”

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.
