Cary Grant was suave and debonair; ie a good guy.
James Mason was merely suave; ie a bad guy.
You really should pay attention when watching North By NorthWest.

Suave comes from spanish: suave = soft, and by extensión, delicate or "good behavior"
Ella es suave = She is delicate
On the other hand, debonair comes from french. De bon air = from good air. By extensión from good family.
In english the two words have derived into a similar meanings but the origins were very different. So, you can use them separately or at the same time and the meaning is different in each case.

Really, I can't think of a less appropriate venue to ask this question. What do code monkeys know about "suave" or "debonair"?

Good point; I must have been in your cups when I asked it.

I think everyone is ignoring the preface of the question. I've never in my life heard the two combined into one sentence. Always seperate. So using the two together to me would would be equivalent to making fun of someone for thinking he is suave or debonair.

Got a new job that's completely back in the VS world and I've already been on here a few times. So thought I'd post to the lounge!
See what's new.
I still see some familiar handles.

Aside from Android, there are several distributions that aim at being "usable" (Ubuntu, Mint).

They're waiting to see if the Internet is just another fad before committing themselves to the effort. I mean, how stupid would they look if they made it so that you could package an installable for their platform and distribute it across the internet if all these Interwebz machines are just going to be gathering dust in 3 years.
