Correction: Ted was covering the fact that he was taking ice skating lessons.

It's also not uncommon for people who can play an instrument to take lessons.

The Lighthouse - S9-E8

Corrected entry: Once Lily finds out Marshall has accepted the judgeship, she is brought a drink and reveals to the group, "yes this has booze in it, no it's not my first." However, later in the season we find out Lily was drinking non alcoholic drinks the entire time because she believed she was pregnant. (00:01:50)

Correction: Or she just lied to keep people from assuming she's pregnant? Pretty sure this isn't a mistake and that it's just a lie Lily told the group.

There was no reason for her to lie though. No one asked her what she was drinking and she just randomly walked up to the group and said she was drinking alcohol.

I agree with the corrector; Lily lied to her friends. She is hanging out with her very best friends that she sees everyday, knows her drinking habits and she is not ready to share news of her possible pregnancy (esp. Before telling Marshall). On top of it, they would be really suspicious if she had a non-alcoholic beverage and she was free as a bird since Marvin was with Marshall. As a person that tried to hide a pregnancy in social settings, I made it known that my coke was a rum and coke (even if no-one asked).

Correction: I think she wants to show how upset she already is, like a "don't mess with me" warning.

Correction: Obviously Barney was lying.

Suggested correction: Many people buy another toothbrush to take on trips and since they were supposed to be going away, they probably decided to use them at home, as if this was their trip.

The whole point of the mistake is they say they have always shared a toothbrush. So why would they use separate on a trip?

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.

More trivia for How I Met Your Mother

Answer: After running the marathon for Marshall with no training, he's allowed to ride the subway for free. While sat on the train, the muscles in his legs start to seize up after the marathon to the point it is painful to move his legs. This is why he can't move them. It's the same reason your body aches after a good session at the gym the day before.

Answer: Barney ran a marathon without any training and over exerted his muscles. While he was able to walk after, later his leg muscles gave out and he couldn't move (or more likely stand). It is not uncommon when one works out too much to be sore the next day, even if they feel okay afterwards. Thus the saying "I'll feel that in the morning."
