i for the fucking life of me dont know what a noob is supposed to be.

i have looked it up in the dictionary (it is not there)

so anyone with an ounce of sence would not use this word.

AND who the fucks idea was it to spell owned with a P?

I fucking hate the word noob (just because it is a non existent word).

infact, the only time i ever use the word noob is when i kill some twat that cant handle it.

him - noob

me - haaa fuckin ha, you were killed by a noob.

i thought people who had the scence to work a computer would have the same sence not to start using a word that some 10yr old made up one day.

call me a prick, call me anything, but dont call me a noob.....

just waiting for all these noobs to start calling me a noob......hee heee heee heeee, i called him a noob and thats what he was moaning about.

NOOB!.........................MEANING PLEASE.

cross between New and Boob isn't it?

As in "you are new and have therefore made a terrible booboo, and have died, i hope you feel foolish"

but maybe not.

If you have to ask what a noob is, you probably really are one. Well done.

"1 Social rejection
In some contexts, such as on Usenet and in online multiplayer video games, newbies are discouraged from the group. Newbies may ask questions that seem extremely simple to experienced users, or disrupt normal order with their lack of skills or etiquette in a certain type of technology. For example, video game players may dislike newbies because they think newbies will hurt or bring down the collective efforts of a team game. Usenet posters may dislike newbies for bringing up off-topic discussion or violating netiquette. Noobs also ask questions with answers that can easily be found in the options menu of the game they are playing.

In some groups, the term "newbie" is used by experienced users to refer to any newcomer, whether the newcomer acts ignorantly or not. In this case, the regulars assert their position with a sort of hazing (sometimes called pwning in video games). Even if a newbie is actually a veteran of a particular game and has just started to play online, they may still be considered a newbie.

In some MMORPGs a newbie is anyone who is lower-leveled than the person making the remark, regardless of actual time spent playing the game. (For example, a level 30 player in World of Warcraft may consider a level 10 player a newbie, while a level 60 may consider the level 30 in turn as the Noob.) However, many 'noobs' are judged by their actions and obeyance of rules, especially in more realistic games. Some forums and MMORPGs have banned some of the more common spelling variations ("newb", "knob" , "nub", "noob", "no0b", "n00b", "nib", "nibblins", "Frodo Nibblins","fruity noob", "newblet(s)", "nub sauce", "nubz", "nubcakes", "nublich", "nubzorz", "Niblit", "nob", "nab", "naab", and "nublets") in an attempt to reduce flame wars. This has, of course, led to more variations, such as "s00b", "ch00b", "fr00b" and "gl00b". It has also led to numerous character-swap versions such as "n()()b" and "n|_|b", both of which are used to bypass a swear filter.

Referring to regular members as newbies is often considered to be highly insulting. The implication is that they are behaving as if they do not know the rules when in fact they have had more than sufficient opportunity to learn them.

Because of their social rejection, some games allow places or servers for newbies to band together, giving them chances to interact before going on, becoming veterans."

Hm. Reading through that, I found this:

"From the days of FIDO mail when many computers ran DOS we find <G> meaning "Grin", <BG> "Big Grin", <VBG> "Very Big Grin", and of course <VBSEG> "Very Big Shit-Eating Grin". Lower-case variants (<g> and so on) are also used."

Very Big Shit-Eating Grin?!

Basically, a noob is a guy who plays either horribly, not at all, annoyingly or hackishly (I just made up a new word!). Does not always apply to new players. I've seen majors and captains being called 'noobs' (but the word 'hacker' generally follows).

N00b = short for "newbie":

NEWBIE:

One that is new to something, especially a novice at using computer technology or the Internet.
(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/newbie)

--------------------------------------

As for "pwn", it is similar to "ZOMG":

"ZOMG is a derivative of the Internet shorthand term for "Oh My God," OMG. The term is commonly used to express humorously overwrought excitement and as a way of mocking internet slang as a whole. It is most likely representative of carelessly pressing the left shift key to capitalize "OMG" and hitting the adjacent "Z" key in the process. Some claim that it is an acronym for "zealous oh my god", but this is most likely a backronym invented after the term itself."

Hope that helps...
