Sarah Palin?
Definitely not Sarah Palin, although Sarah (and all politicians) could probably use some advice from this woman.
Dear Abby?
Nope, but Dear Abbey better mind her P's and Q's around her.
Emily Post, the queen of ettiquitte!
Minding your P's and Q's explained...
One origin story of "mind your Ps and Qs" comes from English pubs and taverns of the seventeenth century. Bartenders would keep a watch on the alcohol consumption of the patrons; keeping an eye on the pints and quarts that were consumed. As a reminder to the patrons, the bartender would recommend they "mind their Ps and Qs."
A second origin story comes from early printing presses. Printers placed individual letters on a typeset to print a page of text. The letters were reversed, making it easy to mistake Ps and Qs in setting the type. A reminder to stay watchful of the details could have come from this time as well. In a similar setting, this expression has been attributed as an adage for teaching children to spell. This second story has been disputed, however, as it can be just as confusing in typsetting or handwriting to confuse b and d.
Either way, watch your peas and queues.
Schully wins and provides an interesting side-note about the origin of "minding Ps and Qs".
