linoob

Linoob was first conceived as a word in #bit-tech (quakenet) by one of the local nutties while talking about a person who is constantly asking questions about Linux while he could find the answers easily through a searchmachine.

Linoob is actually a concatenation of "Linux" and "noob". It means a person who is a beginner in Linux.

Person A: Man that guy pisses me off! With the incessant forum posts everytime he gets a small linux problem on which a 5 second google search would give him millions of answers

Person B: He's a linoob!

Linobamvaki

Crypto-Christians or secret Christians in Ottoman Cyprus who pretended to be Moslem. These guys were Latin and Maronite Catholics who became Turkish Cypriots over three centuries of Turkish rule. Linobamvaki is a derogratory term used throughout Cyprus to describe these folk. It means Cotton-Linen in Greek, as on one side they were Cotton and on the other they were Linen, in other words they were both! Meaning indecisive!

Example people from Louroudjina, Monarga, Limniti, Ayios Theodoros (Larnaca), Anglisides, Potamia, Ayios Sozomenos, Galinoporni and Ayios Thomas (Limassol) village in Cyprus are of Linobamvaki origin.
