What is [an uneasy fit] means?
 
What does "an uneasy fit" mean?
And Thank you.
 
In what type of context we can use it? Can you please give us some examples? Mike.
 
Here are a few examples quoted by the Fraze.It website.

We could also ask punkt where he/she encountered the phrase.

Okay. I got it. Mike said that "an uneasy fit" refers to only two things. Is it really only for two things? Can't we use it when things more than two don't fit to one another or together well?

Examples: Believing in big government and advocating lower taxes is an uneasy fit.
Joe's position about the importance of the environment is an uneasy fit with his collection of gas-guzzling cars.

I usually hear it involving 2 things/ideas. I can't say that more than two is impossible.
