Benny (Plural: Bennies) A nickname given to people living on the Falkland Islands. During the Falklands War, British troops noticed the similarities of many of the Falklands [Islanders], to a Character from a British soap opera, ('Crossroads') In this soap opera, Benny was a simple ([mentally challenged]) odd job man, known for wearing old knitted jumpers and a woolly bobble hat. Military top brass stopped the soldiers calling the [Islanders] Bennies, so the soldiers started calling the Islanders 'Stills' (meaning, 'still Bennies') The Falkland islands is still a major outpost for the British Military (mainly Navy) and the Islnders are still referred to as 'Bennies' and 'Stills'
