Can I ask, what's a Benny?
Benny is a derogatory term used by residents of the southern Jersey Shore to describe tourists from more northern cities, specifically New York City and its immediate suburbs. The term is predominantly used by locals from the towns of Ocean County and Monmouth County. It is widely used from Sandy Hook to Long Beach Island.
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 Philadelphia residents who took the train to the shore. The train offered pre-packed lunches that came in shoe boxes, hence the name 'shoobie'
History:
Locals say that the term stands for the names of the cities along the North Jersey Coast Line: Bayonne, Elizabeth, Newark, and New York, although this may be a backronym.[2][3]
The term has no racial or religious connotations. The New Jersey chapter of the Anti-Defamation League has described the term Benny as "neutral shore slang." It is used overwhelmingly to describe tourists and their behaviors at the Jersey Shore.
Simply put...BENNY GO HOME!

I live there, I work there, and do not depend on Benny Dollars. I have not been to the boardwalk in the summer fot the past three years just to avoid Bennyism.

I always felt bad for the people who have to put up with the "Bennys". People come down, disrupt your life, and like someone said, they think there doing you a favor. I don't know how anybody who lives down there can stand it. June and September arethe best times to spend on the beach anyway. It must be nice to walk to the water without tripping on people or have some whinny kid stepping all over you.

It's like buying a house by the airport and then complaining about all of the jet noise? Sorry just had to say that. I know how hectic it get's down there, and some of the folks just don't know how to behave. I even get mad when I see people spend the day on the beach, and when they leave, all of their garbage (broken chairs, cigg butts,diapers....) are left behind
Well at least you have september!

Thank You, Sin...But if you don't mind i will stick with:
"Dark Lord Anubis"
It's really frustrating sometimes dealing with Bennys.
Belmar's mayor got into some trouble for making fun of "Guidos" and Staten island Girls, lol.
Oh heck if you can't have a sense of humor you just don't get it , lol.
