Opie was once called Dopie. Goober was called Big Ears. Barney was often
referred to in the press as Barney Fike. Point being, we have all probably
had nicknames or have been called names while we were growing up.
Fortunate, we come to realize it is a part of being a child and we move on.

With all the great posts regarding name calling in Mayberry, I would like to
share some experiences I had with name calling during my teaching career.
While in most cases name calling takes on a very negative connotation, name

Does it count if someone calls a person a name that they really are? Episode
91, The Rivals - When Barney calls Thelma Lou from the court house and Opie
answers the phone, Barney gets all flustered because he can't talk directly to
Thelma Lou. When he hangs up he complains to Andy that Opie

energy efficient lights. So the poor 40-watt bulb of Mrs. Mendlebright's may
