The structure combines "shoe" with the "-ie" suffix, referring to tourists who wore shoes to the beach (unlike locals who went barefoot), making them easily identifiable as outsiders. It is used in New Jersey (especially the Jersey Shore) to describe a tourist at the beach, often seen as clueless, annoying, or bringing problems like litter and traffic. People typically say "The shoobies are here for the summer" or "Avoid the boardwalk on weekends, it's full of shoobies."
