Default Definition of Noob:

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?

Noob, newb, newbie, noobie:
Someone who has little to no experience in a subject. Be it video games, or cooking, or even say shelf re-organization.

It's a general phrase in video games that makes anyone who is bad or new at the game feel worse about themselves. It's generally a rude comment.

"That guy is such a newb"
"I know. He should stop tking us with the rocket launchers. D:"

"What's the Sword of Atrophy?"
"HAH! What a newb."
Just a personal definition from me.

Default Re: Definition of Noob:

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.

Default Re: Definition of Noob:

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

Default Re: Definition of Noob:

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.

When the game isn't fun for you anymore, take a break. It's not a job, nobody here is professional and getting paid to play and force themselves to constantly improve... it's a game.

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?!
