When I think of this word I think of the American Civil War.
There is a Confederate (Virginian) song that is all about goobers ... well, goober PEAS.
Which, by the way, are actually peanuts.

Sitting by the roadside on a summer's day
Chatting with my mess-mates, passing time away
Lying in the shadows underneath the trees
Goodness, how delicious, eating goober peas.
Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness, how delicious,
Eating goober peas.
