ReaderFlix: Stupid drunk street fight

10/17/2009:
Hoboken411 reader Rory caught this retarded exchange between drunk idiots with his crappy cell phone video camera.
“Drunk out of towners ruin Hoboken…”
“As I went home last night some drunk girl started yelling and screaming at a bunch of mild mannered men. She accused them of trying to punch her and it was not these guys but someone else. When you are drunk, you forget these things. Girl approaches guys on Washington St in Hoboken in front of AT&T store and confronts the wrong people. Out of nowhere a guy appears who was later detained by police as her friend or boyfriend. The victim never raised his hand or motioned to the girl. These drunk out of towners really mess up our town.”

That dude deserved to get punched for not walking away. You want to act ghetto and let a gangster chick yell in your face – then you are going to get ghetto punched my a midget.
If that was me, I would have socked the guy with the shitty camera phone.

I agree. Why would you even pay attention to someone like that. I’d have just walked away. If they started following, just keep walking toward the police station.

if this chick started yelling at me like that, i would be on my knees begging her to hit me so i could knock her off. i would then proceed to curb her midget friend. but why are you assuming these are not hoboken residents? this seems like normal hoboken weekend behavior. get off your high horse and stop acting like hoboken is a place for the cultured and sophisticated. everyone knows it’s a living cesspool for yuppies and their dogs. it could be outsiders but i wouldnt be surprised if they live here.

That woman was psycho or indoctrinated with the idea of revenge for trivialities. She would have followed the guy and escalated it before he got too far.

You can’t guarantee that if you walk away nothing bad will happen. You *can* guarantee that if you stay — it will.

0% percent chance the people in Black Bear, Lua, anything on River Street, Mulligans, the Shannon (gasp) on weekends are from Hoboken. Walk past any of these places during the week and they are absolutely empty. Literally no one there. Even try going out for a couple of beers on a Thursday – it is very hard to find even one bar with a decent happy hour crowd. ALL of these places are FULL of out of towners on the weekends – it’s just a fact.

I also know tons of non-Hobokenites who admit that in their younger years they came to Hoboken to party (and now come to Amanda’s and other such places for dinner on a monthly basis).
I don’t think 90% of the people in the bars are Hoboken residents.

BENNY =
(B)ayonne
(E)lizabeth
(N)ewark
(N)ew
(Y)ork
They were the stops on the trains people from NYC and NYC suburb areas used to go “down to the NJ shore”. Please don’t live in NJ and call it “going to the beach”. There is another variation of this traditional nomenclature, “Bene”, can’t remember what the letters stand for. It’s an oral tradition after all.
The Driscoll Bridge is called the “Benny” bridge because it is the belief that once you cross the Raritan River you are technically “down the shore”.
So to call a person coming to Hoboken to spend money / party a “benny” makes no sense, as us in the NYC area are who are known as “bennies” (this spelling acceptable) in the first place. Unless they are coming from a shore town, then I guess they are “inverso-bizarro-bennies”?!
That’s the way the story came to me.

Incorrect.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_(slang)
The origin of the term remains the source of some debate. It has often been incorrectly described an acronym for the names of the cities along the North Jersey Coast Line: Bayonne, Elizabeth, Newark, and New York. This is impossible, as Bayonne has never been a stop on the Coast Line, nor has it ever shared a single line with Newark, either run by New Jersey Transit or its predecessor, the New York and Long Branch Railroad.[2][3][4]
Another theory is that it arose from a health-spa fad, which began in the second half of the 19th century and continued up until World War I. This movement was popularized by Sylvester Graham, best remembered for the Graham Cracker, and Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, of cereal fame. People traveled to the shore to enjoy the “beneficial airs” of the ocean – “bene-” becoming “benny” in the process.
The term has no specific racial or religious connotations; however, many Italian-Americans in the Jersey Shore area may be either correctly or erroneously referred to as bennies, due to the area’s low Italian-American population. The New Jersey chapter of the Anti-Defamation League has described the term Benny as “neutral shore slang.” It is used overwhelmingly to describe tourists and their behaviors at the Jersey Shore.

Actually, Plywood is correct, except for the train part. It didn’t matter how the Benny’s arrived at the shore. It’s a negative connotation for people from North Jersey — Hoboken and every other northern town included.
Wikipedia might say different (it is an unchecked public dictionary), but ask any clam digger or Benny & they’ll tell you the definition.

Agreed.
Wikipedia is a pet peeve of mine, as anyone can log onto it and post anything. As such, it is universally not allowed as a source on any academic research (not that we are doing anything academic here). Yet it is often quoted as a credible source. For some idea, look up Barack Obama or George W. Bush, for example, in the database and look at the daily entries to distort information or correct it.

BENNY-the-acronym has been my assumption for years. “Bennie” usually gets an eye roll from me especially when I see it in print in say the Asbury Park Press.
I knew a guy whose family ran a hardware store in Belmar. He was certain the term was short for “beneficial”. This was before guidohood and all its fist pumping glory reached its zenith.
Does anyone know the origin and correct spelling for “shoe-bee”?

You know what ‘Benny’ really means?
It means that no matter where you go, no matter who you are, some dipsh*t with nothing better to do with their time is going to slap a label on you. That’s what it means.
God I hate humans.

After hearing that delightful young woman talk there is no doubt that she is a product of the Hoboken School system..
