What does the term "bennies" even mean? Locals and Wikipedia say that the term stands for the names of the cities along the North Jersey Coast Line: Bayonne, Elizabeth, Newark, and New York. Get it?

The term shoobie, which we probably hear more frequently, is used by residents from Long Beach Island to Cape May. The term was originally used to describe us Philly folks who took the train to the shore. Back in the day, the train gave out pre-packaged lunches that came in shoe boxes, hence the nickname "shoobie" was coined. Hey! Who can pass up a free lunch?! Regardless, you probably don't have to be from the above-mentioned towns to make an ass of yourself while visiting the shore. So this weekend show those locals that we won't stand to be called "shoobies" any longer.
