Barney who?

Barney Rubble, from The Flintstones?

Barney Fife, from The Andy Griffith Show?

Barney Miller, from Barney Miller?

Barney Collier, from Mission Impossible?

Barney Oldfield, the bicycle racer turned pioneer auto race driver?

For all I know, you could be talking about some purple dinosaur.

I'm sure there's a better way, but if all else fails...
