How well do you know your texting slang?
MYOB is a widely used acronym that signals to someone that they should respect your privacy and refrain from interfering in your personal matters. For example, a person may text probing questions about your dating life, and you respond with "MYOB."
People often use MYOB when frustrated or annoyed by someone offering unsolicited advice or prying into their lives. It's a discreet way to set boundaries without resorting to harsh words or saying something you might later regret.
Some people may also use MYOB to stand for "mind your own beeswax," a slang phrase popularized in the 1930s. It conveys the same sentiment as "mind your own business," but some people find "beeswax" more fun to say than "business." People have also theorized that it comes from women making wax candles ("go back to making your candles") or that beeswax is short for "tedious bore" (mind your own boring life").
