So this one isn’t necessarily about real estate, but it’s arguably applicable to not just real estate, but every facet of our lives. What does the phrase “mind your P’s and Q’s” stand for and where did it originate?
Well, it evidently dates back to the early 1600’s and after reading about it, we have concluded that the answer is that no one knows what P and Q stand for- you can make up “pleases and thank yous” (if you say THANK YOU, you will hear the “Q”) but that is just a wild guess. What we do know, however, is that even though we don’t know what they are, we better make sure to mind them!
How about you? Are there any common sayings that you know- or wish you knew- the origin of? Please share them with us and we can enlighten each other. Thank you! (See that, we used our P’s and Q’s)
