Break it Down Barney Style

This phrase is used when you are about to explain something to someone in very basic terms because anything too complex will confuse them, or already has confused them. Frequently used in the military. Does not usually have anything to do with sex.
"Alright, since my first explanation didn't seem to sink in for your morons, I'll break it down barney style for you."

Barney Frank

Also sometimes referred to derogatorily as "Bawney Fwank", is currently Chairman of the US House Financial Services Committee. Mr. Frank is also a member of the US House Of Representatives, representing Massachusetts' 4th Conressional District. However, it is recommended that the term "member" not be used within earshot of Mr. Frank, as it can unexpectedly arouse his self-professed homosexuality and make him quite giddy.

Mr. Frank is also seen by many as a barometer of the current levels of incompetency, malevolence, and corruption of the U.S. government, and in particular, the Obama administration.
Barney Frank: "Fannie Mae and Fweddie Mac are not in twouble! Now weave me awone - my fwiend is going to give me a weach-awound! Aftew that I must continue to defwaud the countwy!"

Sane Individual: "Barney,you are one truly fu*ked up knob gobbler!"
