plural of nub, a player who exhibits negative skill

Someone with no arms or legs, so they have nubs, so they are nubs.

From a NOFX song.

Born in 1992, in the harsh woodlands of Essex, England. Nubs (formally known as Lacey) was found as a babe by a menacing pack of grey wolves. Though the wolves first thought was to eat little Lacey, they only managed to nibble off her arms when they noticed the sweet side of her. They then decided to keep her and raise her as their own kin. They called her Nubs because the nibble wounds left her with wee stumps for arms. Over the years, Nubs realized she didn't belong with the wolves, she was different. She headed out into the vast city of London, England where she proceeded to become a Physical Education teacher. Even though she is now civilized, she is still called Nubs. Sometimes, when there is a full moon, you can hear her howling in the middle of the night, lifting her little nubby arms up to the sky.

A general expression to communicate something is sub par.

Nubs = lame, boring, gay, cheap, sub par, poor
