Re: The "You are wrong" Game
wrong. you are not a noob. While you display many of the qualities of a noob, I made you add that to your signature therefore you cannot be anoob because the truly noobish thing would be to addit yourself. Also the definition of a noob "History
The word newbie is a variant of 'new boy' and comes from British public school and military slang[citation needed]. In the 1960s the term "newbie" also had a limited usage among U.S. troops in the Vietnam War as a slang term for a new man in a unit.[1] Its earliest known usage on the Internet may have been on the USENET newsgroup talk.bizarre.[2] In any case, the term is believed to have entered online usage by 1981.[3] Variants Coming from an oral tradition, the term has variant spellings, including "newbee" (eg Los Angeles Times of August 1985: "It had to do with newbees. I could be wrong on the spelling, but newbees are the rookies among the Blue Angels..."). In internet usage the full spelling of "newbie" has not been used so widely - often it has been shorten into other forms. A common variant is "n00b", and is used as a pejorative for a user who fails to learn from experience.[citation needed] Other spellings include "newb", "nub", "nooblet", "n00blet", or any version of these written in Leet. See also FNG, another term for someone new to a unit used in the Vietnam War. Newbie is the surname of a fictional family in The Sims computer game series.
