Idiom # 17: Suit Yourself

on Thursday, November 8, 2012

Suit yourself

Meaning: Do whatever you want (I don't mind).

Example:
  • Victor: Hey Taito, I'm going to the mall. Do you want to come?
  • Taito: Really? Oh...um...I don't know. I kind of want to watch TV...
  • Victor: You can watch TV any time! Let's go!
  • Taito: Ah...but...um...
  • Victor: Yes? No? I have to leave soon.
  • Taito: Um...well...ah...maybe, no...
  • Victor: Ok, suit yourself! I'll go without you!
I get my suits from China

Origin: In the old days, if someone said "suit yourself" it would mean to put on your own clothing (that you own) instead of going to a tailor and getting a new one made.
