Mind your Eye

.

Be careful or vigilant; keep a sharp look out; keep your eyes open to guard against mischief. School-boy wit, Mens tuus ego.

“‘Perhaps it may be soʹ (says I); ‘but mind your eye, and take care you donʹt put your foot in it.ʹ”—Haliburton.


“‘You must mind your eye, George; a good many tents are robbed every week.ʹ”—C. Reade.
