The structure uses the rhyming pair "Barney Rubble" (the character from The Flintstones) to stand for "trouble," following the typical Cockney pattern of replacing a word with a phrase that rhymes with it. It is used in Cockney rhyming slang (London, UK) to mean trouble, a problematic situation, or difficulty, often shortened to just "Barney." People typically say "You're looking for Barney Rubble" or "He got himself in a bit of Barney." The term originated in mid 20th century London rhyming slang, drawing on the popular cartoon character, and remains a recognizable if somewhat dated example.
