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)
