This pejorative term for a boy who is not categorised as a Bald-win was featured in the 1994 US film Clueless. The reason for the choice of proper name is uncertain, but may be inspired by the character Barney Rubble in the cartoon series and film The Flint-stones, hence a primitive person. The term was still in use in 2004.
