It relates back to the age of little 12 year olds become printing apprentices. So when they used to set up the letters on the press it would be very hard to indentify the p's from the q's. Thats were the quote mind your p's and q's came from.
tpbm fully understands now
"...And I fight back in my mind. Never lets me be right.
I got memories. I got shit so much it don't show."
P's and Q's are Pint's and Quart's , bartenders back in the day used to tell people to mind them instead of staring at two people arguing and thus adding public pressure , basically mind your own business, i don't want a fight to break out in my bar.
i've been researching it , it seems were both right, there are many theories and use's!
It's an old British pub expression, meaning "mind your pints and quarts". It is both an admonition to watch how much you're drinking and not get to drunk and also advice to keep an eye on your tab in case the bartender gets mixed up. (Tabs were traditionally kept track of by writing ps and qs on a blackboard and over the course of an evening with repeated writing and erasing, things could get messy and confusing.)
