Benny (slang)
Benny is a pejorative term used by year-round residents of the Jersey Shore to describe rude, flashy, loud tourists from North Jersey and New York. Since local residents appreciate the tourists' economic contribution, the term "Benny" sometimes refers to only those unpleasant tourists who cut lines, drive recklessly, start fights, park on the wrong side of the street, harass women, or deliver other disrespect.
Benny means Bergen County-Essex County- Newark and New York by some people and others say different towns but it is all the same. Anyone who lives North of the NJ Turnpike is a Benny
==Origin==
The origin of the term is disputed.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The origins of the "Benny" )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The origin of the term "bennies" )〕 One common theory says the term originates from an acronym that was stamped on the beachgoers' train tickets, representing the city in which they boarded the train to the Jersey Shore: Bayonne, Elizabeth, Newark, and New York. The term "Benny" may also originate from the early 20th century practice of wealthy New Yorkers taking trips to the Jersey Shore as treatment for myriad maladies such as anemia, hemophilia, and hysteria. These therapeutic trips were called "beneficials" by doctors and patients. Often, visitors would claim to be at the Jersey Shore on a "beneficial", hence the term Benny.〔http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/08/magazine/08FOB-onlanguage-t.html?_r=1〕〔http://www.app.com/story/news/local/toms-river-area/seaside-heights/2015/07/15/term-benny-come-nj/30194287/〕
The term 'Shoobie' is used by residents of resort communities in the southern New Jersey Shore, from Long Beach Island to Cape May. The term shoobie was originally used to describe day-trippers who took the train to the shore. The train offered pre-packed lunches that came in shoe boxes; hence the term "shoobie." However, over time the meaning has changed to include tourists who wear sneakers or shoes on the beach, as opposed to most locals who go barefoot on the sand.
