strong suits

Areas of expertise

Strong suits are areas of particular skill or advantage.

The term comes from card games, where your strong suit is the one with your best cards.

By extension, it describes whatever someone does well: Patience isn't my strong suit.

The singular strong suit appears more often than the plural.
