2. High Five

3. 2 a.m.

Nothing good ever happens after 2 a.m. Well, unless you are still binge-watching HIMYM. If not, get back to bed.

4. Pineapple

This is one of the greatest mysteries of all time, where did it come from?

7. Suit

“Suit up” another common phrase used by Barney, who believes a suit is not only for special occasions but to be worn daily, "to distinguish ourselves from the millions of T-shirt and jeans lemmings out there," Is how Barney and his brother use it as their excuse.

A word impossible for Ted to spell, although he becomes one and has to ask his students for help.

11. Legendary

A common phrase said with suspense and enthusiasm by Barney Stinson. Stinson uses this when he has some big news to share with is friends, although they rarely seem to care.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
