Definitions
To 'count (someone's) rosary' means to meddle in someone else's personal or private matters, often in a judgmental or intrusive way. The phrase originates from the act of counting prayer beads (a rosary), symbolizing attention to another person's spiritual or moral life instead of focusing on one's own.
