It's a human petri dish for socially transmitted diseases.
What’s a Snooki?
Snooki is an individual featured on the MTV show “Jersey Shore”. Summer visitors to our area, particularly those from Northern New Jersey and New York, are loosely referred to as “Bennies”. There is some discussion as to the origin of the term (which I probably first heard at maybe 3 or 4 years of age), but many say that it refers to “our benefactors” as summer tourism has been an important part of the Jersey Shore economy.
Snooki belongs to the subset of Bennies known as “Guidos”. They are primarily of Italian heritage, though the attitude and behavior rather than the parentage defines them best.
There are other subsets as well, like the B I Cs (Bronx Irish Catholics) and the PennyBennies (from Pennsylvania), but they draw less attention to themselves as groups. Of course, there are also the Clamdiggers (those of us born and raised at the Shore), but we ain’t gettin’ into them!

What’s a snooki? I don’t know either, but it seems to bother people at the beach and it’s not so pretty.
