an idiom. That idiom is to follow suit. It is formal sounding. example: I got the flu shot and I suggest that you follow suit.

One verse of a nineties song of Genesis said "just do as I say, don't do as I do"... if it's not an idiom, it should become one.

"Do as I say, not as I do" is the idiom. 1,760,000 Google hits vs 6,000 for the Genesis lyric.
