Phrase suited
Text In this podcast, the word "suited" means with the characteristics and qualifications that make one well-prepared for something and likely to do it well: "Small cars aren't well suited for driving over this rocky road." The phrase "(someone's) strong suit" describes something that one does well: "Numbers have never been his strong suit, but he's an excellent writer." The phrase "to follow suit" means to do the same thing as others are doing: "If our competitors lower prices, we'll have to follow suit." When talking about clothing, a "suit" is formal clothing normally worn by business professionals: "All applicants are expected to wear a suit to the interview." Finally, the phrase "in (one's) birthday suit" means naked, without wearing any clothing: "Do you ever walk around your house in your birthday suit?"
