Suit

/süt/

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, and brain-damaged. English, by the way, is relatively kind; our Soviet correspondent informs us that the corresponding idiom in Russian hacker jargon is sovok, lit. a tool for grabbing garbage.
