From the MMORPG 'World of Warcraft' a 'retnoob' is a slang phrase for a player of the 'Paladin' class who has placed his or her talent points in the 'Retribution' talent tree. It is thought by some that the Retribution tree is an 'easy-mode' for paladins and hence is used by younger players.

Words you can keep
The World of Warcraft version of the n-word. Most players can't accept a world where the Paladin class actually has fun, so they treat Paladins like white people treated blacks before MLK. Sadism at its finest.
So you're a paladin who wants to DPS? Retnoob! That's like black people wanting to vote! Oh, wait...

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
