This "word" was coined in early to
mid 2004, by players of the videogame Socom II for Playstation 2.
It describes a player who uses an unfair
weapon, the IW80. This
weapon generates a large number of headshots, as it has little to no recoil while shooting fully automatic. Thus, the people who use it are I-dub-nubs.
It can be broken down quite simply as follows: i-dub-
nub = IW80 newb. but, pronounced eye-duhb-nuhb.
This is a unique word in that, it was most certainly not created untill socom II came out in late 03, and in fact, it is rearley used since late 04, because most of the people that once used this word, have now banned this
weapon from legitimate matches. A word that, although used alot for a period of 6 months, has begun to disappear! to find this rare word still being used, you might try some of the
e-seals servers on socom 2, but, it may no longer exist!
"Wow, this clan has alot of i-dub nubs, I will post about it on gamebattles and hopefully get the
weapon banned."
"it is unfair to be on the
terrorist team with all of these i-dub nubs on the seals. lets pick seals next
map, well show them what it's like to be i-dub nubbed." used as a verb!
