Episode Title | Buying a Men's Suit |
Phrase | suit |
Text | The word "suit," in this podcast, means professional clothing of a jacket and pants made from the same fabric: "Many bankers have to wear a suit every day." A woman's suit might include a skirt instead of pants. In general, a "suit" is a set of clothing. For example, a "swimsuit" is worn to swim, and a "wet suit" is worn to keep one warm while surfing or diving. Astronauts wear "spacesuits" when they fly into space. A "suit" is also one of the four sets of playing cards: "There are four suits in a deck of cards: hearts, diamonds, spades, and clubs." Finally, a "suit" is short for "lawsuit," or a legal complaint that one person or organization makes about another person or organization in court: "Gerald filed a suit against his employer." |
