suit

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 behaviour of

suit-wearers.

2. A person who habitually wears suits, as distinct from a

techie or hacker.

See {loser}, {burble}, {management}, {Stupids}, {SNAFU

principle}, and {brain-damaged}.
