Thank you Dave, the down side began early last year with the bedroom

wanted this piece to follow suite. If only they were not on such a

Gaaaaaaaaaaaack! I can't stand it any longer.

Suite (hotel) (from gagmewithaspoonbeggars Wikipedia)
A suite in a hotel or other public accommodation, denotes a class of
luxury accommodations, the key feature of which is multiple rooms.
Many properties have one or more "honeymoon suites", and sometimes the
best accommodation is called the "presidential suite".

Sorry. I just hadda do it.

a. A group of related things intended to be used together; a set.

b. also (s?t) A set of matching furnitu a dining room suite.

Now look up the phrase in question, Max. "follow suite"
Ain't no such aminal.

Some people's kids. I swear...

As in "suite" pronounced "sweet". Suit as in the the new suit you wear
to weddings and funerals (is there a difference?).

"Suit" is also used in cards, which is where our phrase "to follow
suit" came from.

Now all we have to do is convince people to drop the "e" in "suite" to
get "suit" and then drop the extra "o" to get "loser".
