suit n. 1. Ugly and uncomfortable `business clothing' often worn by
   non-hackers. Invariably worn with a `tie', a strangulation device that
   partially cuts off the blood supply to the brain. It is thought that
   this explains much about the behavior of suit-wearers. Compare {droid}.
   2. A person who habitually wears suits, as distinct from a techie or
   hacker. See {pointy-haired}, {burble}, {management}, {Stupids}, {SNAFU
   principle}, {PHB}, and {brain-damaged}.
