Its Friday folks! Hope everyone has a great weekend planned and today’s cool little factoid comes from our friend Ketabcha, just in time for any TGIF get-togethers.
. . . Didja know?
In England beer is served in pints and quarts in the pubs Long ago if a person became rowdy in the pub the bartender would say "Mind your pints and quarts." Meaning, "settle down and drink up."
It was later shortened to "Mind your p's and q's and that's where the expression came from.
