Legend has it the term came about because BYU is like a Zoo, whose inmates roam the grounds seeking mates, thus people associated with it are Zoobies. Also, if you live in a Zoo, your reality is only perceived by yourself, not to anyone elso who sees you. The Lions in the Savhanna display might think they are in Africa, but everyone else knows they are in the Zoo.
