When I was younger, I remember adults using the expression, "mind your P's and Q's. It seemed like a more polite way of saying 'mind your own business', or 'behave yourself'. But I never really knew. 40 years later at a party I heard someone telling the story. The expression was started and used by British bartender's, someone drinking beer and getting a little loud or out of hand were told to "Mind their Pints and Quarts", the 2 sizes of containers beer was served in. Who knew!! LOL

[@matthewronson5218]

by British (bartender's) = bartender is? The plural for bartender is bartenders. Also it was not so much about those getting loud or out of hand, it was primarily in reference to those who were running a tab to 'mind their P's & Q's' they are going to have to account for and pay in full, which they can easily lose track of when the drinks are flowing freely.

The Irish?

[@kerriganm]

I was taught it was derived from the typesetting industry. Typesetters put little metal letters (called “sorts”) in a frame to make the words that get printed so you can then read books, magazines and newspapers. They have to do it backwards, though, so it will appear the proper way when printed. When setting these sorts backwards, “p” looks like “q” and “q” looks like “p” and it’s easy to make mistakes. Ergo “mind your Ps and Qs”. Also- the typesetter had to hope he didn’t run out of the most common letters (e, l, t, n etc.) before he reached the end of the page. If he did, you can be sure he felt “out of sorts”. I dunno, but it seems to me to be less far fetched and make more sense than “pints and quarts”.

One of my favorite hidden features on cars is an arrow indicating the side with the gas cap. Look at your gas gauge, right there next to the E is an arrow indicating which side of the car the gas cap is located.

POOL NOODLES are also perfect for protecting tree trunks on new tiny trees - just cut to length and cut a slit up the side to slide it on; protects it from nibbling deer, and often you won't have to stake the tree or, if you do, protects the cord from cutting into the bark. Besides, the bright colors will hopefully keep idiots from driving/mowing/weed eating it down. ALSO... cut lengths of pool noodles as boot trees to keep them from wrinkling, sagging or flopping over.

As told to me by a bartender; "No nick" glasses are also called this due to each bar/pub stocking a slightly different version bulbous drinkwear. Prior to their introduction, patrons would steal or "nick" these cups for their personal home use, eventually compiling a full matching set for themselves. When the "no nick" pints were introduced, this problem became less and less prevalent, as the would-be thieves did not want set of glasses that did not match each other. Also, as each bar/pub had unique cups, the fact that they were stolen and where they were stolen from would be apparent to their guests. Not sure if this factoid is 100% accurate, but it is definitely an interesting take on the subject.

Frenches mustard is good for burns. Years ago, when I worked at Walmart I was heating up a cup of water in the Micro wave oven for my instant coffee. As I reached in and was pulling it towards me it caught on the rim of the turn table and tipped, boiling water splashed onto my midriff right through my clothes. The boiling water had melted my skin away on that spot and the pain was excruciating. One of my coworkers ran and bought a bottle of Frenches mustard smeared it all over my burned skin. The mustard soothed the injury and days later there was absolutely no scar, just pink skin.

Unlike what the video says, you should NOT use it on your cellphones screen to clean it. On every cellphone screen there is a coating that makes the screen feel smooth to the touch to allow for easy movement of your fingers on the screen. Using any kind of alchohol based cleaner does clean the screen, but it also removes that coating that makes the screen feel nice and slippery like its supposed to be.

[@Thalanox]

If you've already got some odour on your feet or in your armpits that no amount of washing and scrubbing seems to work on, then you can try rubbing some stainless steel on it. The stink is caused by sulfur compounds. When you rub stainless steel on it, you're basically swapping out the sulfur with the iron in the steel. That's because sulfur and iron are very similar sizes and have the same valence charge, which allows them to substitute for each other in many compounds. There are stainless steel bars that are molded to look like bars of soap, or you can look for anything around that has rounded edges that's made of stainless steel. A simple tablespoon will get the job done. Rub the steel on the malodorous part of your body thoroughly, and then remember to wash the spoon before using it on food if you try that. Edit: Do the stain-less steel rubbing when you're washing up, after you've already given yourself a good wash.

Except for quantum tunneling, microwaves do not escape the microwave. Those holes don't necessarily have to be made of metal, but rather blocks microwaves but may not be conductive or arcable at all. The microwaves do not escape through the holes because they are still shorter in diameter that the microwave photons' actual physical wavelength. Unless a whole wave can pass through, none do, and it collapses it's momentum on the perimeter opaque matter.

[@batvanio]

This with the microwave is no secret, it is taught in school. In fact, the grid has a certain size of holes. The reason is that if the holes are smaller than the wavelength of the microwaves they cannot pass through, but at the same time you can see inside because visible light is of a shorter wavelength and passes through. Something like trying to sift through a flour sieve, for example, peas. It can't go through because its grains are much bigger than the holes, but the flour goes through without a problem.

In the past, I repaired microwaves. Keeping them clean is the most important thing you can do. Over time and repeated heating, left-over dirty food and stains can cause the paint inside the microwave to burn, leading to the arcing, burning, and even melting of dirty plastic parts.
