different strokes
Varying personal tastes
Different strokes is short for "different strokes for different folks"—the idea that people have varying tastes and preferences, and what works for one person may not suit another.
The phrase acknowledges individual differences without judgment: You want pineapple on pizza? Different strokes.
It often serves as a conversational shrug, accepting choices one doesn't share.
