#SundayFunday


On this #SundayFunday find a festival or a sporting event you can go to today. This time of year there can be all sorts of interesting themed festivals or farm team games to attend. In my state this is the time of year we generally have the State Fair going on. We have a baseball farm team in town so those are always fun games to attend. Maybe there is something happening at one of your local parks. One of ours has a water fountain that people can cool off and play in. We are at the end of those lazy, hazy days of summer so go and have some fun today!

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.

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.
