The other day I said to my son, speaking about things in general,
"people will be minding their "p's and q's" ....or something to that effect!
He looked at me and said, "where did you get that saying from? and what are your "p's and q's" ??? Well after going over in my mind, what they were or at least suppose to be, I couldn't tell him what they stood for! or for that matter what that meant! So does this have a definite definition? I guess I had understood it as "minding your manners" or "minding your own business"
What do you all think?
