A newbie is a newcomer to a particular field, the term being commonly used on the Internet, where it might refer to new, inexperienced, or ignorant users of a game, a newsgroup, an operating system or the Internet itself. In many cases more experienced/knowledgeable people use it in purposes of negative reinforcement, urging "newbies" to learn more about the field or area in question. A newbie is also labeled as such if they are polite when asking questions about the game where as noobs are impolite and believe that the more advanced players are themselves, noobs.

This is demonstrated in the webcomic Ctrl+Alt+Del, where visual examples show the clearly defined difference between newbies and noobs.

Variant spellings, such as newb, nub, nublet, noob, nooblet, foob, froob, nubzors, nubcake, nub-nub, raw nub, noobtard, noobstain, nubumb, dumbnub, and, in Leetspeak, n00b, t3h n00bzorz, n00b3h,' and ch00b are numerous and common in Internet use. The term newb itself is usually used to refer to a person who is new to the field in question, whereas noob is used as an insult. For example, in the internet show Pure Pwnage, the main character regularly says, "I pwn noobs," in this case, meaning he beats people of lower skill than himself.

The webcomic Ctrl+Alt+Del describes the difference between the two different types of gamer in one strip The 'newb' is portrayed as a level-headed newcomer to the game, who heeds the advice given to him by a more experienced gamer. The 'noob', on the other hand, comes across as an angry, irrational gamer who insists his mistakes are deliberate, and who has to live with the "proven fact that they will never get laid".

In gaming, the following behavior is usually associated with noobs.


Not knowing what a noob is.

Referring to someone as being a "noob".

Going online without playing through the games tutorial and then annoying the other players by continually asking questions on how to play.

Poor sportsmanship: noobs might communicate explicit/racial/prejudicial comments to the victorious parties, in situations where the newbies lose. Blame might be redirected to an external phenomenon, such as a latency (a.k.a. lag) spike. Other poor sportsmanship actions include: disconnecting in a game once victory is deemed impossible (albeit this may prevent statistics from being recorded, both for the victors and the losers). In team games, newbies might team kill (sometimes called "gank", meaning 'Gang Kill' ) or use items intended to be used on enemies (such as flashbangs in Counter-Strike) on friendly players to vent their frustration.

Giving personal information that is fabricated or is not actually true. For example, a "noob" may claim that they are "football players" and "could beat you up in real life", and countless other claims of "real life" superiority.

Looking for sexual companionship online. It is common to see a "noob" requesting a "gf" or "bf" (girlfriend/boyfriend), and is usually adamant in pursuing someone they desire as their "gf" or "bf", especially after the person of their desire expresses a disinterest or disgust over their affection.

The inclination to shout random phrases when voice is enabled, that may be nonsensical and/or use an overwhelming amount of explicit language. This is especially a problem on Xbox Live and Counter-Strike. This can drown out aural environmental indicators, which could lead to a detrimental gameplay effect to the other parties involved. Some games have options specifically made to drown out the voices of other players.

Little or no use of team tactics, or understanding how to cooperate. This is especially critical in games with players assuming specific roles on a team, such as Battlefield 2 or TeamFortress. Moreover, a tendency to be 'greedy' in regards to personal user experience versus the team objectives, i.e. always using a vehicle without being in line with objectives.

An underground joke is "noob talk" or "NUB/NOB TALK". Noob talk is when an individual uses harsh spelling errors and terrible punctuation to insult noobs. A lot of "real" noob talk is found on games such as Gunbound, Ragnarok Online, MapleStory, World of Warcraft, Counter-Strike, and RuneScape. Also, there are many examples of noob talk on game-related websites, especially forums. An example of this dialect is "ITAM PLZ" (translated into "Items Please") (In RuneScape, the higher leveled players usually use the term "PLX/PLOX/PLZ" when imitating N00b Speak."). Other examples of "noob talk" is randomly shouting "i 4m t3h pWn!" and "t3h d00m!". Noob talk is mostly used to make fun of players who whine and ask for money or items. More advanced players might mockingly walk up to a low-level character and plead "moses plz!!" or "i want godl! plz!?". "M3 Wn4t M0n3y!!1!!!!!!11111111" Noob talk is fairly simple to grasp. The main characteristic of noob talk is to make numerous spelling mistakes and overuse common Internet slang. Some noob talk includes l33t characteristics, such replace "E" with "3" or "you" with "j00". It is easy to discern between "real" noob talk and "joke" noob talk. In many ways, this is similar to the 1980s B1FF postings on Usenet.

Answer 3

It means a "Dumb Newbie."

A "Newbie" is someone new to a scene, and thus unfamiliar with the environment. It's generally used to refer to people who are new to computers.

Noob arose because Newbie lost much of it's pejorative punch over time, so NOOB arose to fill the gap.

It's a way of accusing someone of lacking training, experience and intelligence, where "Newbie" merely means you lack training and / or experience.
