    Goobers are what peanuts are called in some parts of the American South.

     I thought goober peas is what peanuts are called in the South. Is that just another variation, or am I off track?

    My southern relatives always referred to peanuts as "goobers".

    Goober peas are indeed peanuts.  That has been shortened through generations to goobers.  Goober is also synonymous with entertainment celebrities.
