Butter fingers
English
A baker’s dozen
A baker’s dozen means thirteen. In the Middle Ages, baker’s suffered severe penalties if they sold loaves of bread which were below the legal weight. To avoid prosecution for any unintentional sale below this standard the bakers added an extra loaf free to every twelve, so ‘a baker’s dozen’ is really thirteen.

To Peter out
𝗧𝗼 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝘁 when something peters out it has stopped, or come to an end.
The phrase arose in the American goldfields during the first half of the 19th century, when the two principal methods of mining gold were used.
‘Placer’ mining, which had been known since ancient times, was the easiest because nature had already done most of the work, eroding and leaching gold-bearing rocks into a fine powder, or into nuggets which could be separated from the alluvial deposits in prospector’s pans.
The another method was known as ‘lode’ mining, in which the gold had to be extracted from solid rock.
Peter is Greek for rock, and can also refer to a vein of ore. When a seam had been worked to exhaustion and revealed no more gold, it was said to have ‘petered out’.
Peter also obtains it’s name from the saltpetre of the explosive in the gunpowder used to extract and break up the gold-bearing rocks into a workable size.
P.S: authenticity is gold, lies only vibrate purity into dark doors.

Squirrel Away
𝒮𝓆𝓊𝒾𝓇𝓇𝑒𝓁 𝒶𝓌𝒶𝓎 means to put (something) in a safe or secret place especially so that it can be kept for future use
Squirrels bury good quality nuts either in one place or in scattered nodes. They can determine the quality of the nut by the weight, so they do know when it’s hollow, eaten from inside. Also they strategically remember the location stores due to their episodic memory and are able to discover 95% of their stash, those missed stores thankfully turns into a tree (yippee)! They are actively found collecting nuts during autumn to sort their winter hood demands.
And these nutty beings are so smart that if they become aware of any other presence lurking, they then deceive by digging a hole and burying a nut..well in reality they hide the nut in their mouth cheek to then later bury it elsewhere.
P.S: “find me in future” – is the note 📝 we leave in our stores..
Astrolabe
The need to create a precise calendar for Muslim religious observances and pinpoint the direction of Mecca for prayers energized the fields of maths and astronomy. To measure the position of celestial bodies, Muslims perfected a Greek invention, the handheld Astrolabe. Author of a pioneering 9th-century treatise on algebra, Persian mathematical astronomer Al-Khawrizmi introduced Hindu numerals (and zero), which came to be called Arabic numerals. The word “algorithm” comes from his name.
P.S: Algorithms attracts one’s mind to focus on a problem delicately and deeply.
To bury one’s head in the sand
ᴛᴏ ʙᴜʀʏ ᴏɴᴇ’ꜱ ʜᴇᴀᴅ ɪɴ ᴛʜᴇ ꜱᴀɴᴅ is to refuse to take any notice of a difficulty or problem; to pretend that it does not exist, or think it will go away, or solve itself. The expression is based on the habit of the ostrich which is reputed to bury its head in sand when pursued and in danger, in belief that it cannot be seen.
The ostrich, which is the largest flightless bird of Africa, up to 9ft in height, does not, in fact, do any such thing.
Despite their size, and their weight of around 136kg, ostriches are extremely agile. When they sense the approach of predators they bend their necks parallel to the ground to listen intently and if in danger, they are able to escape running away at speeds of up to 40 mph.
They probably give the impression that they bury their heads when they are seen bending their necks, and listening close to the ground, or when attending the eggs in their nests, which consists of a simple depression scraped in the sand.
P.S – so concerned, though being buried is a better choice at times..
