Huckleberry friend
Hi everybody!
There is an expression “huckleberry friend” that means “friend indeed” or about it. But why “huckleberry”? From what this expression originated? Thanks.
Most believed that it is from the friendship of Tom Sawyer and his friend Huckleberry Finn. However, this phrase comes from the song, "Moon River", the theme to "Breakfast at Tiffany". The lyricist, Johnny Mercer described in his autobiography, said that it was in reference to a childhood friend of his. He used to pick huckleberries with him down by a lazy river near his home in Georgia. So it is the berry and not the friend in the book, "Tom Sawyer".

Listen to Moon River by Andy Williams! For example in this: http://www.moskva.fm/artist/andy_williams/song_776906
I thought it’s a wide use expression. Jeff had explained that an average American (or Canadian, now it's clear))) doesn’t know this sort of trivia.

Sure! But I had some doubt about this links. And look below: Jeff explains another way. I guess we can trust native speakers. ) Good luck!
