NOOB

NOOB/NEWB/N00B are the same thing and are commonly used interchangeably. Being in chat and gaming for the last 20 years I am very familiar with this term. This word started as NEWB or NOOB. Pronouncing the word differently has derived the word NOOB or N00B or other derivatives of the word. Essentially it means someone who is new at a task. Often used as "I am still a noob" This is often used in games like WOW. AION, ETC.

Other meanings of the word could be more derogatory, “such as you’re a total freaking noob”. This kind of usage can imply that the person has had enough time to learn something but has still not ascertained the knowledge to perform the task. Further might never be able to do such task.

The word stays the same although can be paired with different derogatory words such as “fucking noob”: someone who did something really idiotic.

Noobsauce, Noob-a-tron, Noobinsky, Nooblicious, Noobish, Noob-o-na-vich.

Further evolution of the words has formed words like “NUB” again this in my opinion was established by shortening the word. Something like “that dude is a nub”

There are many different branches of the word in the gaming / chat / online forms Culture. Since it’s a word that is constantly evolving hard to say which definition is wrong or in accurate.
Noob: you're a total fucking noob

Nub: He got ganked like a fucking nub

Newb: im a total newb at this.

N00b: Look i understand you're still kind of a n00b at this i can help you get better though.

Nooblicious: That armor looks kind of nooblicious though.

Noob-a-tron: that dude is a total noob. Noob-a-tron pro.

noob

One who ridicules another for being "new" at a game. It is often used to poke fun at unexperienced players. There are people who frequently argue that the term noob was lifted from Noob Saibot's name, a character in Mortal Kombat games.

Noob

The word newb means a newbie at something, but "noob" means somebody with a superiority complex. The origin of the word, I think, is from Mortal Kombat. A character Noob Saibot (the name is Tobias Boon, a creator of MK, spelt backwards) is easy to use and posseses many unbalanced attacks. Players who are not good at anybody else, or the game itself, are likely to use this character. So because of the players actions he is mocked with the name of the character.
"That kid certainly cant play Mk, he's such a Noob."
