A word to describe people on the beach who wear shoes. They aren't locals and are usually tourists. Shoobies are disliked by locals.

THE NEW JERSEY SHORE
by John T. Cunningham
New Brunswick: Rutgers University Press,1958
Pg. 101:
Fast trains to Atlantic City, along with a one-dollar round-trip fare,created the "day tripper," and the "Dollar Excursion" unquestionably (Pg.102--ed.) gave the city its wide popularity. Throughout the 1890's and up until World War I working men had freedom to play only on Sundays. That day, week in and week out, found swaying Atlantic City-bound coaches teeming with Philadelphia families, laden with their "shoe box lunches."... Naturally not all of Atlantic City viewed the "Shoe Box Lunch Set" with favor. Keepers of the swank hotels figured anyone who couldn't come for at least a week should stay home and get rested for his job.

A new world greeting that replaces the pound. It consists of saying "Shooby" to the person you are greeting and being given the same response unless you are absolutely hated by the person, or you aren't cool enough in their eyes.
*walks into chemistry class and looks at friend* "Shooby!" *friend replies* "Shooby!" and the world goes on.

Plural is "Shoobies"
Used to define obnoxious tourists. They usually come in vans equipped with kayaks, and are 40+ years.Shoobies believe they know everything about your hometown because they read it in a brochure.
