"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."

PERSON 1: “Oh my God, my life is over! My phone, my beautiful phone - it's been delayed in transit. I literally don't know what to do. What the Hell should I do?”
PERSON 2: “Jesus Christ, keep your jaw on. It'll clearly get here in the end - some people have real problems.”

Get the Keep Your Jaw On mug.A female who's not in a relationship with either sex currently (but has been in the past) because she's been rejected by members of both sexes. A female who tries to rally other people to support her even at the expense of their own relationships (the kind of person who would try to fuck with the lives of two people who are otherwise happy together, despite the female in the relationship having something in common with her). A female who makes everybody's life around her about her, then tells them all its not about them, which is true, everything has to be about her.
The girl with the glass jaw didn't want to be rejected and alone at the same time, so she tried to get other females to think like her, even though she didn't really know anything about being happy with another human being(and some of them did), since every relationship she had tried at, she had been rejected for making the relationship all about her, the same way she did with family, which is why nobody missed her when she was somewhere on the other side of the globe. She was quick to get other people to sacrifice things, and try and get them to compromise rather than resist.
