Mind your manners really.
P's = please
Q's = thank you (supposedly although there is a theory that it means pints and quarters!)

It means be careful of what you say and do, especially in social situations. I believe it's an old British expression, and it is short for 'mind your p(int)'s and q(uart)'s' i.e. watch the amount you're drinking when out at the pub :)

Means that you are going to an important engagement/appoinment/event or to meet an important person and you need to show proper manners and etiquettes and conduct yourself appropriately to suit the occasion.

It's also the p and q in a printer's box (they look like each other, only in reverse)
