The Mermaid Theory - S6-E11

Character mistake: In another episode it is revealed that Robin hates nicknames and reacts badly when she, or anyone else, is given a nickname. However, in this episode her and Marshall give each other nicknames, and she doesn't seem bothered at all.

Suggested correction: They were trying to convince the others that they were close friends and Marshall probably didn't realise she hated nicknames and Robin was just going along with it.

She says "Teddy boy" often in s2 though.

Marshall: You should definitely go. Look, it's a chance to show her you are still friends and that you support her.
Barney: Or it's a chance to mess with her head by showing up with someone hotter, or even better, triple threat, hotter and bigger boobs!
Ted: That's only two.
Barney: Count again.
