Term used by home owners in beach towns referring to the renters in the summertime. They always come in and pack the bars, trash the streets and then leave. Best known for pissing on the sidewalk and drunkenly not being able to find their way back home.
THOSE DAMN SHOOBIES ARE ALWAYS TRYING TO COME IN AND RUN OUR BEACH TOWN.
1. n. Regional nickname denoting a toursist to the southern New Jersey shore. This term originated in the 1920's when tourists, visiting the beaches were easily identified by the shoeboxes the brought to carry their lunches.
2. n. Any person who looks out of place while at the beach. Usually identified by the wearing of black party socks with shorts and flip-flops and/or a severe sunburn.
I'm getting this from my Gpop and pop, but a shoebie is a South Jersey Shore expression to describe the day-trippers from Philly and NYC that would ride the train "down the shore" for the day or weekend and bring everything in a shoebox. Since the original poster used "shore" in their definition they too are probably from the South Jersey area. The trains that brought the shoebies down the shore, nor the expression shoebie, are heard much any more so its kind of cool that the expression lives on as a slightly derogatory expression for an inapproprate and unwanted tourist!
