I want to hear different opinions on what a Noob is. I keep getting different responses from people. I hear that it is someone who sucks at video games. I also hear that it is someone who is doing good at a game but only because they are cheating or using something that is easy to use. As for Call of Duty Black Ops, some people use a launcher attachment on their assault rifles and people nick name that as Noob tubers because I guess you can kill easier with it. But yeah what is the true definition and could you call somebody a Noob if it doesn't relate to games?

I grew up playing MMOs where people referred to new players as "Newbies", a term reserved exclusively for inexperienced players who had very limited knowledge on the workings of a game. I always understood "Noob" to be used as a negative term to name-call a "newbie" for being a nuisance for not understanding or excelling at a game.
However, today "Noob" takes on a whole new meaning. In first-person shooters It's a term used to classify any person with a lesser skill than the accuser. It's used as disrespect to talk down someone, accusing them that they have no idea how to play the game. |

Pretty much the above definition except I'd strictly use it in video games. It's pretty awkward to walk up to an inexperienced cook telling him that he's a noob because he can't cook lmfao.

So basically it's just someone who is a beginner.

I would always differentiate between the terms"newb" and "noob." I would interpret and use the term "newb" for anyone that is a beginner at something but shows some potential for improvement in the future. On the other hand, you have your "noobs" who are just so ignorant, naive, dumb, etc; that there is probably no hope for them in the future.
tl;dr: newb = new and inexperienced, but with potential noob = this person just flat out sucks |

Newb and noob I pronounce the same way and therefore do not differentiate their definitions and newbie I generally shorten to noob anyway.
As for a definition I think what we have above sums it up well. An inexperienced individual or someone who is of a lesser level than the accuser. Personally, I throw these terms around all the time with no intent of using the understood meaning. If someone is bad, yeah I mean to call them a noob, but it's never supposed to be hostile. It's more of a, "Oh that guy must be new to this because he *sucks* at this game." (Sweeping generalization that this can only be applied in gaming) For me calling someone a noob is like when I call someone a hacker, I never really mean it. It just makes me feel better about myself when in reality I know I'm a horrid gamer. tl;dr: Noob/Newb/Newbie - N. [in gaming] An inexperienced player. -o24

I guess a noob is just a new or inexperienced person, and as mentioned above(lmao), used exclusively in games.
Also @ andy, you didn't put -o24 at the end of your post. WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO THE REAL ANDY?! |
