Talk:Barney-style

RFV discussion: February–July 2015
I searched for this plus army in Google Books and found only one relevant result: Embedded: A Marine Corps Adviser Inside the Iraqi Army by Wesley Gray, which has more of a mention than a use. Equinox ◑ 00:50, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * A few cites (hyphen use is inconsistent):
 * 1996, Chris E. Stout, The Integration of Psychological Principles in Policy Development, Greenwood Publishing Group ISBN 9780275950118, page 191
 * Compassion, self-esteem (based on achievement rather than mere repetition of Barney-style mantras), self-discipline, work ethic, and patience are among the other values taught in this program.
 * 2010, Paul J. Roarke, Corps Strength: A Marine Master Gunnery Sergeant's Program for Elite Fitness, Ulysses Press ISBN 9781569757741, page 16
 * I&#39;ll break it down for you, as we say in the Marines, “Barney style.” The foundation for health and fitness can only be built on three solid blocks: Half a brain, The  RIGHT exercise, and good food.
 * 2011, Daniel Powers, The Perfect Devotional for People Who Aren't, Xlibris Corporation ISBN 9781456890926, page 653
 * I will break it down Barney style for you real quick. Say you have a child, and that child is reaching into the cookie jar.
 * 2013, Jess Bravin, The Terror Courts: Rough Justice at Guantanamo Bay, Yale University Press ISBN 9780300189209, page 146
 * “He can really take a complex, complicated subject and break it down, Barney-style,” Couch said, like the purple dinosaur popular with preschoolers.

 * I didn't realise it was named after the children's educational dinosaur character. (Ety now added.) If he is used in other phrases ("tell it to me like Barney would"?) then perhaps the entry should be Barney, making this SoP; though this is just an observation.
