Talk:Mind your own business

Untitled
This is a ridiculus article, it makes more sense that it is a bit of light public info/propoganda for daylight savings time if franklin actually did design the coin. It also has nothing to do with mind your (own) business as it is simply a statment to mind your business - making that leap has no basis in anything and this article is exactly the reason you can't use wikipedia as a source for anything because people have no idea how to do research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.63.170.198 (talk) 17:39, September 18, 2007


 * Unless anyone opposes - I will move the information about the Fugio coin into it's own page (the above comment is correct, it has nothing to do with Minding one's Own Business); I will leave the information about "Mind Your Own Business" here. This information will serve the research community better under a coin article title such as "Fugio."  Nicholas SL Smith chatter 01:00, 11 May 2008 (UTC)


 * After further research, the phrase "Mind your business" combined with the ford fugio, and the image of the sun dial and sun rays form a "rebus" -- The Fugio Cent has nothing to do with the term "Mind your own business." These articles have been separated on both the German and English Wikipedia sites.  Nicholas SL Smith chatter 00:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

"Mind your own business" should have a separate disambiguation page to clear up the confusion. --George100 (talk) 13:49, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Widely used in US
"It is possible that Russell is the inventor of this initialism, which is now used widely throughout the United States." Source? I have not ever heard of anyone using it this way, so I'm interested in what reason there is to assume that it is being widely used. 77.160.247.37 (talk) 00:14, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Russell was not the first author to publish a book with M.Y.O.B. in it. Minerva Hall did so in her 1927 childrens book "Mr. Scoodle-Do and his many adventures" in which the little boy was taught the meaning of M.Y.O.B. by Scoodle-Do. I think "widely known" might be a better way to describe it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.70.126.84 (talk) 12:20, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
