Talking Benny

For those that don't have any idea of what a Jersey Shore Benny is I copied this from a website. I have no idea of who the author is, but I love her for her comments and her insight. (And if she should ever read this, yes, I know how to handle a Jersey Girl).. :)

The term BENNY originated from the letters of the train stations on the Jersey Shore line where annual tourists come down to the shore and mess up everything between Memorial day and Labor day.

(B)ayonne
(E)lizabeth
(N)ewark
(N)ew (Y)ork

Locals can spot a BENNY from miles away. They're mostly from New York, they ask the dumbest things like "Which way is the beach?" and "What do you guys do during the winter?", they can't drive for sh_t, they think they're sweet, they crowd out beaches, malls, and basically our entire lives. They know only the major roads to get to the shore + home, they think it's cool to come down for the weekend, go to one of the 50 clubs on Ocean Av., trash the state and leave on Sunday. 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 Jersey Girl nor do they know just how good of a state New Jersey is.

Best of all, they have no fracking idea what a 'Benny' is.

I hope this clears the question up.

Of course I have a bad habit of putting anyone north of Birmingham AL in that category.
