Call it a Day
What it means
Stop working, on the grounds that you have done enough for now.
Where it comes from
It started as calling it half a day, in the 1830s, when a worker knocked off early and still expected to be paid. The full day arrived later, and the honesty went with it.
The puzzle it came from
Call it a Day was the answer to the Phrasicle of April 14, 2025. The clue read ____ it a ____, and the words came out of a grid where every neighbouring pair makes a two-word phrase.
