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
loser, burble, management, Stupids, SNAFU
principle, and brain-damaged. English, by the way, is
relatively kind; our Moscow correspondent informs us that the
corresponding idiom in Russian hacker jargon is `sovok', lit. a
tool for grabbing garbage.
