Changes: Suit Up

Revision as of 09:09, 20 February 2011

Suit Up! is a phrase regularly spoken by Barney Stinson. It refers to his policy of wearing a suit for almost every occasion. The origin of the phrase and Barney's suiting up is explained in Game Night. After his break up with Shannon, Barney found a suit store flyer bearing the slogan "Suit Up!" Feeling depressed, he took the flyer's advice (and the advice given to him earlier by the man who stole Shannon from him) and suited up for the first time, creating the Barney we know today. In Single Stamina, Barney explains why he and his brother James suit up; "to distinguish ourselves from the millions of T-shirt and jeans lemmings out there". In Girls Versus Suits, Barney performs a musical number detailing his love for suits and suiting up (the lyrics to which can be found here).

Barney mentions Suiting Up on many occassions, and is frequently frustrated by Ted's reluctance to ever Suit Up with him (although, on rare occassions, such as the Pilot and Moving Day, Ted does Suit Up at Barney's request).
