n00b cannon 

(n.) Any weapon used in a multiplayer game that is supposedly overpowered.
Although not limited to FPS and MMORPG genres, it is primarily used as a sarcastic remark against anybody who gets 'lucky kills', or just happens to be in the right place at the right time (Specifically against people who otherwise show little-no ability in the game).

ie.
Grenade launchers in general. (Battlefield, GunZ)
Tanks or heavily armored vehicles. (Battlefield, Halo)
Automatic shotguns. (CS:S, GunZ)
Machine guns. (CS:S, GunZ)
Semi-automatic sniper rifles. (CS:S)
Any mid-short range weapon that has a high probability to kill in one hit. (Any/all FPS)
Assassin or Sniper abilities (courtesy CoZ)
Low-level characters with powerful magic or weapons (ROSE, Runescape, WoW)

n00b speak 

people who think they know "leet" speak.

(see also 1337 speak)

- CHI Southampton
This is n00b speak:

Okay, 1337 is a good subject to talk about. The first thing I would like to clear up is that chatspeak and 1337 are NOT the same thing. Some lazy morons merge 1337 and chatspeak together, soon creating the popular belief that 1337 and chatspeak are the same thing.

Okay, so what /is/ 1337 in the first place? 1337 means Elite. The point of 1337 is to replace all the letters with symbols, and is quite fun to play with. 1337 was first created by some people would wanted to talk in a forum without any outsiders barging in. Some outsiders may have figured out the language and started using it as well. Eventually, 1337 became famous all over the internet. The original use of 1337 is hardly practiced any more, but it survives because many of peope use it for fun.

It takes a long time to translate between regular English and 1337 even if you know all 26 1337 secrets, unless you're very skilled at it.

Here are the 26 1337 secrets.

B = |3
C = (
D = |)
E = 3
F = |=
G = 6

I = |

O = 0 (zero)
P = |*
Q = 0,
R = |2
S = 5
T = 7
U = |_|

n00b t00b 

A rocket launcher in a game, or another long, sometimes wide weapon used in a video game in split screen on online mutiplayer, which scores easy kills.
When my friend Tony and I were playing split-screen Snipers on Halo 2, on the map, 'Coagulation', he was losing badly and soon started to use the n00b t00b. (Beam rifle)
