A New Jersey Benny. Slang Word Used To Describe Jersey Shore Tourists.

[@rjkconway]

I've heard over the passed 20 years or so used with a different meaning on the South Jersey Shore versus Central Jersey Shore. The Northern Shore communities defined "Benny" as folk from B ayonne, E lizabeth, N ewark, and N ew Y ork. The Southern Shores defined it as travelers from Philly and Eastern Pa coming across the Ben Franklin Bridge .

Won't have to refer to me as one. You can keep it to yourselves. I'll head North or South for less crowds, cleaner beaches, & cheaper parking! 😉
