Take the 2-minute tour ×  It's in season 8 episode 3 of How I
Met Your Mother at 8:22min. I found it on youtube too.
"Barney!!!" "Icksnay on the ealray amenay!" "Mr and Mrs
Erikson?" "Youuu son of a... itchbay!"  The itch-Bay was easy.
And to me the previos is: Nicks on the real name! But what does
that mean? A referrence to the NY nicks? I don't get it.

down vote accepted  It's not "icksnay". It's "ixney", which is
"nix", as in stop talking about it. He's telling them not to
mention his real name in front of the woman he's trying to fool.

side note, the appropriate pig latin for "thank" is "ankthay".
:D It goes to the first vowel. –  MyCodeSucks Dec 6 '12 at 1:55
add comment  He's using Pig Latin and the specific word he's
saying is 'ixnay' which means 'no'.  share|improve this answer
Nix means to veto or reject. –  Jeff Mahan
