Mind your Ps and Qs. :q
This meme is a perfect opportunity to be on our best behaviour , and watch our language. Ms Jenny keeps telling us that. She is our teacher : Mind your P's and Q's is an incessant admonition among teachers, to their students, warning them to note the right-handed knob of the p's and the left-handed knob of the q's.
like this .... :p q: lol
It's a quirky idiom alright , and what is puzzling about it is the Q sound . It is thought to be an abbreviation of 'mind your pleases and thank yous' but your guess is as good as mine . So there you have it .
I hope you enjoyed todays lesson as much as I have
Thank-you for stopping by and please come again
:p q:
I think of the old Ma and Pa Kettle shows where he use to say that.."Mind your P's and Q's"

ReplyDeleteI never knew exactly what the ps and qs stood for. Thanks for clarifying.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh....clarity! Thanks for the Quick lesson, now I have one more Question I can answer from my kids!
ReplyDeleteYh! How important are those ps and qs!!! Politeness costs us so little, but makes such a huge difference. :)
ReplyDeleteAh yes, manners. Have been working on them with my boys...they don't understand the no elbows on the table. Sigh.
