The principle (or law) of parsimony used in problem-solving is usually called Occam’s Razor: among competing hypotheses, the one with the fewest assumptions (the simplest one) is preferred. The common definition for parsimony is thrift.
Or, in Barney’s case, parsimoney.
I like parsnips in Guiness Stew.
Maybe they are researching fruit: that could be persimmony.
