A term that originated in southern New Jersey that was used to describe tourists who packed lunches in shoe boxes to bring to the beach. Currently, the term is used to describe the flocks of northerners and Pennsylvanian's that travel to the South Jersey coastline during the summertime. They typically come in carpools of 5 or more, drive like snails, and crowd South Jersey boardwalks and beaches so much that locals can't enjoy themselves in their own hometowns.

Guy 2: "Yea, all of the shoobies are gonna be crowding the sand with they're excessively sun block slathered bodies, and their Nike cross trainers."

Shoobie is the term for a visitor to the Southern Jersey Shore. From Cape May to Long Beach Island visitors are called Shoobies and from Long Beach Island north, visitors are called Bennies.
The term is believed to come from the depression era to describe people who would take the train from Philadelphia area to the Jersey Shore for the day. They would bring their lunch and bathing suit in a shoe box. These people would spend very little while visiting and were mainly disliked by the locals.
Today, the term is mainly a tongue in cheek term referring to anyone who does not live at the South Jersey Shore.
