The term BENNY originated from the letters of the train stations on the Jersey Shore line where annual toursit 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 ususaly of Italian decent, 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 shit, 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 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?"
Local (pointing west towards Newark): "That way." (mumbling under his/her breath) "Go home fucking benny..."

Benny (Plural: Bennies)
A nickname given to people living on the Falkland Islands.
During the Falklands War, British troops noticed the similarities of many of the Falklands Islanders, to a Character from a British soap opera, ('Crossroads')
In this soap opera, Benny was a simple (mentally challenged) odd job man, known for wearing old knitted jumpers and a woolly bobble hat.
Military top brass stopped the soldiers calling the Islanders Bennies, so the soldiers started calling the Islanders 'Stills' (meaning, 'still Bennies')
The Falkland islands is still a major outpost for the British Military (mainly Navy) and the Islnders are still referred to as 'Bennies' and 'Stills'

The name Benny derives from the latin word "Brevis" (Brēvìs) which means, "Small Penis". It has been statistically proven that people with the name 'Benny' are 10x more likely to cheat on their significant other compared to the average American male.

Matt: Somehow I make $16 an hour, plus bennies, to sit in a cubicle from 9 to 5
Dave: You're lucky bro. I know a guy who's disabled, couldn't finish high school, and makes the minimum wage to push a mop around in circles all day. Keeps the floors and the urinals clean tho.
