Quote from Barney in Matchmaker
Robin: So, "Love Solutions", did you meet the love of your life? Ted: She said it'd take three days. It's been five days. Should I be worried? Lily: Oh, just play it cool. Don't Ted out about it. Ted: Did you just use my name as a verb? Barney: Oh, yeah, we do that behind your back. Ted-out: to overthink. Also see Ted-up. Ted-up: to overthink something with disastrous results. Sample sentence: Billy Tedded up when he tried... Ted: OK, I get it. Don't worry, I'm not gonna Ted anything up or out. I'll just give it a few more days.
