pints and quarts. old english term. old time pubs and still to this day in europe they use pints and quarts to sell beer. so when a bar keep wanted people to settle down he would say mind your p's and q's (pints and quarts)

Gone the way of the curlew sadly enough. Society, in an effort to equalize, has done away with propriety as uppity- so minding ones P's&Q's has become pase. It saddens me but does not prevent me from encouraging my children to be rebeliously polite.
