someone who thinks they own the beach when they go just for a weekend or a summer most of them deserve death...even tho they are the reason our economy survives.
the guy who doesnt know how to drive a circle and insists on drivin in the fast lane even tho he is goin 70 and you dont even have to read his license plate to know its from PA and then gets angry when you flip him off as you go 90 past him

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

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.

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.

past tense form of a word usually said when a group of skaters went to the local skate park and theres rocks that were purposefully thrown all over the park.
Someone shoobied the whole skate park. Why would someone do such a thing.
The skate park got shoobied guys. Better bring a broom if you wanna skate.
