Noob

Someone who is new to something and will forever remain at that skill level.
The term is usually applied in the gaming world.
Characteristics include: terrible grammar, excessive use of numbers in the name, TYPING IN ALL CAPS, and begging.

Unlike the common newb, the noob is the person who manages to turn friendly, long-time players into assholes who'll make fun of anybody new to the system.

You can usually find noobs congregating at the starter zones or in major hubs in World of Warcraft, RuneScape, MapleStory, and virtually any other online game.

Newb:

Kevin7: How can I make money?
Me: You can make money from mining.
Kevin7: Do you know where I can get a pick?
Me: Sure, that shop over in the corner.
Kevin7: Thanks, I'll go try it.

Noobs:
