I was once told by an old timer that would frequent a marina that I used to work at who was told by Charles Hankins himself that if you are not born on the shore then you are never a local. I personally am not as strict. If that were the case than even I being born and raised in Freehold but living in Toms River since 1996 would be a benny. I consider a benny anyone who does not currently live on the jersey shore. Not that I put you in the same category as "snookie" or "the situation". They are the real bennys. But you are still one too,just a little less of one.
