"Keep your jaw on" is a phrase used when somebody is overwrought, overly shocked, or unnecessarily upset over a trivial matter. The expression was inspired by John Glubb, a WW1 soldier who had his jaw shot off but managed to have it reconstructed using surgery. The point of the phrase was, if even somebody who's reached a situation that low managed to fix their problems, you shouldn't be reacting so badly about a smaller issue.
Popularised in Northwest England's coastal towns, the phrase is often used as a less niche form of the phrase "don't get your knickers in a twist."
