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.
Example:
Guy 1: "Why the hell is traffic on the
Expressway moving so slow today?"
Guy 2: "Because of all of these fucking shoobies, they don't know how to drive."
Guy 1: "Yea, I bet they're all heading to the beach. We'll never be able to find
a good spot to relax."
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.
