Definitions to phrases used commonly
Monday, December 04, 2006
Often times I'll hear phrases and wonder what the real dictionary definition is. Here are two I've heard recently:- monkey suit - (mon-key suit) noun - definition: 1)a suit worn by a man as part of formal evening wear; 2) a dress suit that a man has to wear, although he would not prefer to have to wear it. <"I slapped on a monkey suit and went to the job interview.">
- smoke and mirrors - (smoke and mir-rors) - definition: cover up - something that is intended to draw attention away from something else that somebody would prefer remain unnoticed. <Donny Duetsch said while referring to building his ad agency from nothing, "It was all smoke and mirrors.">
