Also a minute after my first corrections, I capitalized "Social Security" in "Super Gullible."


* SuperGullible: Oh, Honey. While hanging out with the gang, she mentions several instances in which she has been obviously duped, including believing that her landlord installed a camera inside her shower for "extra security" and giving her social security number to someone [[FourOneNineScam claiming to be a Nigerian prince]]. Also, Marshall gets her to tell him Zoey's secret (that she's getting divorced) by claiming to be Zoey's therapist.

* BlatantLies: Even if Robin hadn't already told Marshall the truth about the gang's evening with Zoey and Honey (i.e., that Honey liked Ted and wanted to go home with him), Barney's version is so ludicrously over-the-top (with Honey supposedly deliberately pointing her straw at him while seductively mouthing "straw" to him) that it's unlikely Marshall would have believed him anyway.

* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Much like [[Recap/HowIMetYourMotherS3E05HowIMetEveryoneElse Blahblah]], Honey's real name has been lost to the ages. Thanks to her being SuperGullible, every story she tells ends with the listener spitting out a sympathetic "Oh, ''honey''...".

* LadyInRed: Honey wears a form-fitting red dress while hanging out with the gang.
* LoveDodecahedron: Ted and Zoey are in love with each other, while Zoey is married to The Captain, and Honey expresses some interest in Ted before sleeping with Barney. Everything ultimately gets sorted out in the end, as Zoey and the Captain turn out to be getting a divorce.
