1)one who is less skilled at a video game than another. typically because the less skilled player has what is known to the video gaming world as the mythical "life" which possibly includes the last frontier or "girlfriend". 2)an insult used by gamers, who have no lives, in a way that makes them feel superior in whatever bubble they prefer to live in.

An individual that plays a particular multiplayer game less than 15 hours a day, thus causing him/her to be less skilled at that game than the person calling him/her a n00b. N00bs are usually classified as having a job, an active social life, and possibly a lover. These things are reviled in the "gamer" community, which means that n00bs are hated with a passion in their circles.
