n. a short-term visitor to the beach and shore communities of New Jersey. As indicated in the citations, shoobie has long been said to derive from a description of tourists, day-trippers, weekenders, and others who would bring a meal packed in a shoe box. Though often repeated, this supposed origin has not been verified. The Dictionary of American Regional English includes the spellings of shoebe(e), shoebie, and shub(i)e. "дачники" :) |
