Banana Republic stands for casual sportswear, relaxed outdoor clothing with some elements of adventure and travel. The clothes are more about style, value, and taste than they are about fashion.

In a banana republic, one might slip on a banana peel but things do work - now and then for the people, albeit inefficiently and unreliably.

Honduras was the original 'banana republic,' and its poverty remains extreme.

I'm so old, I don't buy green bananas any more.

I'm getting so old, I don't even buy green bananas anymore.

I hate bananas. I just hate them. But I also think a banana suit is the funniest fruit costume a person can wear.
