  barney n. In Commonwealth hackish, `barney' is to {fred} (sense #1) as
     {bar} is to {foo}. That is, people who commonly use `fred' as their
     first metasyntactic variable will often use `barney' second. The
     reference is, of course, to Fred Flintstone and Barney Rubble in the
     Flintstones cartoons.
