Benny
의미: A tourist or out-of-towner visiting the Jersey Shore beaches, typically from North Jersey or New York.
Shore locals use 'benny' (sometimes spelled 'bennie') for summer tourists who flood their towns from Memorial Day to Labor Day. The term is mildly derogatory — implying someone who clogs traffic, doesn't know local customs, and leaves trash on the beach. Despite being disliked, bennies are essential to the shore economy.
