say please
Mind your manners
A phrase used to prompt someone—usually a child—to add "please" to a request, teaching basic politeness: What do you say? Say please.
The words also appear as a mild rebuke when someone makes a demand without courtesy, reminding them that requests should be polite rather than entitled.
