Barney referred to Andy as Daddy Long Legs in the "Opie Loves Helen"
episode, when he's about to inform Andy of Opie's crush on Miss Crump.

That name doesn't even correctly describe the scenario. The book and the
movie "Daddy Long Legs" were about a middle-aged bachelor who falls in love
with his much younger ward.  So I've always wondered whether the TAGS
writers intentionally used the term to show another example of Barney's not
knowing nearly as much as he thought he did. Or if, in fact, the writers
themselves didn't know better.

====================================================================
I think he once called Andy "Daddy Long Legs"..but I'll have to have help on
that one.  It was when Opie as failing Math.
