what does mind your p’s and q’s mean
Mind your Ps and Qs Mind your Ps and Qs is an English language expression meaning "mind your manners", "mind your language", "be on your best behaviour" or similar.
Mind your own business In the 1930s, a slang version rendered the saying as "Mind your own beeswax". It is meant to soften the force of the retort.[2] Folk etymology has it that this idiom was used in the colonial period when women would sit by the fireplace making wax candles together,[3] though there are many other theories.[4]
