A goober is a good ‘ol boy that is sometimes outrageous but basically salt of the earth. It’s a Southern term usually used affectionately. We also use it on our kids, dogs and anything else that’s being a bit silly. For instance we frequently call my Great Dane a “goober”. Other Dane owners will understand.
Thanks. I should have remembered Goober on the Andy Griffith show. He was a good , simple, lovable guy. And funny.
Oh, I surely do. Worst of all, it’s one of his most endearing traits. Danes rock!
