I've occasionally heard it in different parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri; so it's a Midlands and Greater Appalachia sort of thing as well.

It is/was also a type of candy, chocolate-covered peanuts, sold by the folks who make Raisinettes. I haven't seen them in stores lately though, they may have fallen victim to the sudden increase in people violently allergic to peanuts.

Or to the 2008 recession. I'll be honest, I had forgotten about those.
Though, I was referring to 'goober' usage in the same capacity as Renee had used it.
BenRG:
I think that this is the moment where Elliott learns that he will never understand women or, at least, this woman in particular. That aside, I don't think he can help but be disturbed (and maybe a little flattered) that she has noticed his physique and has been thinking a lot about it.
Meanwhile, I sense some oncoming Renee angst as she starts fretting over the fact that Elliott was unaware of the fact that she considers him a friend. Is she really that bad with people? It's not exactly the sort of thing that you want to know about yourself. I'm sure that, if she asked Brun, she'd get a devastating critique of her behaviour and I'm pretty sure that's what Jeph is planning to do.
Finally: Is 'Officially Platonic Friend mode' Renee's name for her comfort zone?

They're probably both part time.

Possibly, but I had 3 part time jobs at one time which made it difficult to schedule in any time at the gym... which I really couldn't afford anyway.
BenRG:
It's quite possible that Elliott has some gym equipment at home and he has days set aside for different parts of the ol' body.
Suddenly, I can see Brun telling him that she would be perfectly willing to help him remember to exercise so long as she can do so at the same time. There follows a panel of nervous babbling before he realises that she literally means that, in exchange for helping Elliott keep to his work-out schedule, she would come around his place to use his gym equipment too.
