benny

There’s a place called Sweet Butter down on Ventura Boulevard, and they do a real nice eggs benny.

The menu is written on a chalk board and offers classics like hearty homemade chili, fresh buttermilk biscuits, or a smoked salmon benny. 

A "benny", is derogatory name derived from an acronym of some of the places the tourists come from: Bayonne, Elizabeth, Newark and New York.

While she’s trying, a taxi rushes up and out jumps a lad in a long benny.

"I can get along without the benny," reflected the Kid, "because I'm naturally warm-blooded, but take away my old white kettle and I'm a soldier gone to war without his gun."
