The term "barry" is synnonimous with a person who is a dreamer or a goof. It's also used when someone is being dishonest, says something outrageous, foolish/ silly or obviousely untrue.
The term barry is a very light hearted insult. Mostly used among friends and most often not even seen as an insult, its like calling someone a wally. Its in no way ment maliciously.
