Photo by Tony Kurdzuk. Kurdzuk, Tony. Don't drown in a rip current. But naturally they do tend to have a better sense of the biggest hazard facing swimmers. Sea Doo? No, don't. Call them by their outdated name, jet skis; their technical name, personal watercraft, or with the name of the current brand leader, Sea Doos.
But I call them bennyskis. Nothing exemplifies the loud, boorish, out-of-step aggro benny mindset like a jet ski. Besides lifeguards, locals really don't use them. Tourists like them because it allows them to feel a saltwater rush without acquiring any actual skills, unlike surfing, sailing or even bodysurfing. There are fish in the ocean: get used to it.
If it's midsummer and you pull any kind of living or dead sea creature from the ocean -- even the most commonly found skate pictured or jellyfish -- the specimen inevitably will attract a horde of slack jawed, astonished people. These people are bennies. It doesn't even have to be an animal.
Some of the funniest benny watching opportunities occur when the ocean is full of seaweed, as muscle bound gym rats suddenly begin squealing because some vegetation has touched their leg and they suddenly realize the ocean is not a jacuzzi. The beach in September. Yes, yes and more yes. Today, the term Shoobie is primarily used to describe tourists who go to southern New Jersey resort towns like Wildwoods or Cape May.
As I eluded to earlier, whether you are referring to someone as a benny or shoobie they both have different meanings and none of which derived with a negative connotation even though that's what they are largely used for that today. Tourists should be welcomed with open arms this summer because of the hardships that local businesses have been dealing with from the outbreak of Coronavirus. The capacity limits in local stores on the boardwalks and resort towns are going to have a huge impact on sales and profit margins.
They battle an enemy, born of the shore , who has never known defeat, and will not stop until victory. A website set up by a bunch of xenophobic faggots who live in Ocean County , NJ.
They bitch about tourists coming down to the Jersey Shore and disprespecting their homes, instead of focusing on real problems like political corruption. The website reads like a call to arms, and is so extreme that if you replaced the word Benny with the word Nigger, it would look just like something on Stormfront. The people at BGH insist that they are only talking about rude, disrespectful tourists, but if one carefully reads the site and looks at the merchandise they sell it becomes obvious that there is a serious anti-tourist subtext running beneath everything.
They're ususaly of Italian decent, mostly from New York, they ask the dumbest things like "Which way is the beach? The cops all come out after Memorail day and hunt for the New York plates until Labor day, they pay WAY to much for a shack a block away from the beach, they can't handle a Jeresy Girl nor do they know just how good of a state New Jersey is. Best of all, they have no fucking idea what a 'Benny' is. Benny Pulling over a few blocks away from the shore : "Hey bro, which way's the beach?
