Origins- technology, newbie (noob, n00b, etc)
pronunciation- tek-new-b
A person that knows little to nothing about computers, or other devices that make humming noises and have various buttons. Best examplified in Roger Fox of the Foxtrot comic strip, he could deftly delete the hard drive in a few clicks of the mouse. Dilbert's The Pointy Haired Boss is another good example, as he is easily fooled into thinking an "Etch-a-Sketch" board is a laptop computer.
More often than not, they are a baby boomer, or somewhere in between 40 and 80 years of age, though people younger than 12 have often exibited the symptoms. If someone has trouble turning a computer or other electronic device on or off, can't figure out how to use it when it is on, or wonders what this or that does, they are a technoob.
What to do if you encounter one- First of all, remove the device from his or her hands, and hide it behind your back. (in the case of a computer, turn off the monitor if possible, or quickly shut it down) If you are lucky, they will quickly forget what they were doing within seconds, and go hammer on something or ask you if rocketdial has really sent people to the moon. If they seem like they are going to erase all of the memory on your computer, or install viruses, it is best to take them out with something they can understand- a baseball bat. If nothing works, may the force be with you. (tazers usually work quite well)

Get the technoob mug.A creation of the most likely insane H&H, they started as a phrase, then morphed into coffee beans glued together with broken toothpicks as arms and legs.
Also can be used as a phrase meaning something along the lines of "holy crap."

Get the Shebeezies mug.1. More commonly known as toilet paper, but can also be used to describe napkins used to wipe really nasty junk off of your hands. It's also more fun to say than napkin. (try it)
2. It can also be used to describe babies... Kin, like the German "chen" is often used to indicate someone or something that is small (or in an endearing mannner), so a little crap is a crapkin. (mostly because babies poop way more than you'd expect) Their diapers can also be called crapkins.

Boy- "Dad, we need some more crapkins!"
(ex. 2)
Random mom- "Dangit John, the last thing we need is another crapkin running around here!"
(3)Diaper-changing person- "Eew, little Buddy, you go through crapkins like there's no tomorrow!"

Get the crapkin mug.noun- A somewhat familiar name for things like goblins, ghosts, ghouls, or what have you.
In "Lord of the Flies," the name represented both a tangible and mental thing or fear. Can be used to describe scary people, parents, people you don't like, or a certain band.
Also has a much nicer ring to it than "beast." Beauty and the Beastie just sounds... friendlier.
