Yes, the word noob. Or newb, n00b, whatever you want to call it. It's one of the most irritating sounding words to me. Overused, meaningless, and just a vague word used to insult on the internet. It really has no meaning anymore. It used to insult someone who had no idea what they were doing, that whole thing, but now it's just a generic insult.

 

 

 

So I was thinking. Why is it that with some people, it's the number one used word in their internet vocabulary, and in others, never used at all? I typed out the word noob today, and realized I haven't used it in literally months. Yet some people can't go minutes without using that word. I thought, why is this?

 

 

 

I came to this conclusion. Besides using it jokingly, the only people who really use it are the real 'noobs' themselves. They're brought up hearing it used on themselves so much, out of an insecurity thing, they attack everyone else with it. Being a 'noob' really is a bad thing to them - otherwise they wouldn't use it themselves. Think about it. Most of us never use that word unless we're jokingly using it. Myself, never. But the only peopel who really use it seriously are those low level f2p 'noobs' themselves.

 

 

 

This now meaningless word only exists because the people who are afraid of being called one use it all the time attacking others, mostly just to cover up what they think are their own shortcomings. How often is it that when you completely prove someone wrong, all they have left is that simple four letter word, noob? Yet they somehow think that's a valid comeback. That they've just countered all your points. Well it's not.

 

 

 

I didn't really know what the point of this thread would be when I started it, but now I've decided. It's to just show how pointlessly hypocrytical it is to use, and basically, to ask people who still use it to simply just stop. Stop dragging that stupid word over our chat screens. We don't need to see it anymore. It means nothing. Go ahead and keep using it jokingly, but just stop using it as a real form of argument or to insult people, because it's so meaningless nowadays.

Don't be such a noob adam.

 

 

 

:anxious:

Don't be such a noob adam.

 

 

 

:anxious:

 

Can't say I didn't see that one coming a mile away. :P

Hsn't there been a LOAD of topics about this already? :? . Anyways, I agree with you PARTLY about the noob thing. I think noob still has a meaning to it, I mean if I called someone a noob, they would get mad at me, why? because it DOES mean something. :| just my thoughts. :

yeah its annoying.

 

 

 

got called a noob for not wearing armor(i was hallying the lesser demon for slayer and i just got back from pyrefiends...i didnt want to switch to armor)

It's extremely annoying being called noob for no reason. If you are doing something annoying, you kind of deserve it...Sort of...Anyways, I have an example from today. I was selling 1K oak planks, and I was searching on the official forums for a buyer. I found a guy who was buying oak planks (no number...), so I pmed him asking if he was still buying them...Here's the conversation.

 

 

 

Me: Hi...Are you still buying oak planks?

 

Him: Ya how many

 

Me: 1K

 

Him: Rofl u sucha noob i want 10k+ at once, not a nooby 1k u such a noob noob noob

 

 

 

At this point, I remove him...(Note the grammar...). And does anyone actually have 10K+ oak planks?

Hsn't there been a LOAD of topics about this already? :? . Anyways, I agree with you PARTLY about the noob thing. I think noob still has a meaning to it, I mean if I called someone a noob, they would get mad at me, why? because it DOES mean something. :| just my thoughts. :

 

You do see a lot of topics about the word noob. Most of them are complaints about being called one, entirely different from this analytical approach.

 

I think if you did call someone a noob, they wouldn't feel offended (unless they thought they were one), but mostly just be mad because they were irritated at you using the word. I mean if you want to annoy someone go ahead and use the word. I'm just saying it has no meaning anymore as an actual word beyond being an automatic comeback, which itself has no meaning. For everyone situation of using the word noob there's a 1000% chance you can pick a better word that actually applies to the situation.

i Got some convorsations ... Dum people always call me a noob for no reason.

 

 

 

Him: Buying D long

 

Me:I'll sell How much?

 

Him: 5k

 

Me: No Ty try around 90k

 

Him: Noob ROFL!! THEY 5k-10k!!! NEWBY!!!

 

 

 

.......

 

 

 

Now people even alter the word by changing it to Choob/Nub

 

 

 

Him(lvl 95): Bring it I will own you Choobie!!

 

Me(lvl 85): OK ur higher then me though

 

-I cream him:)

 

Him: OMG U NUB U GOT SO LUCKY!! Y dont u go hax some more stats choobie!

 

-im like wat??

You really shouldn't call anyone a noob. Even if they are lower level than you, they might possibly have more playing experience, or have a main account. Just if someone is acting immature, that might mean that they are fooling around, or just being silly.

 

 

 

Come on people, it's just a game, although a good one at it. :thumbsup:

*Ahem*

 

 

 

I draw your attention to this tip.it times article published almost a year ago:

Noob is the best weapon of distraction in C-wars. Tell someone a "noob "and "kill meh you granny n00b" and they'll be dumb enough to fall for it and chase you around. Your mates attack him while not getting hurt...then they die saying, you guessed it, "n00b!" :lol:

my friend told me that a noob is someone under lvl 30. And if someone is goofing off, being immature, then they should expect the name.

 

 

 

those who post about it just 'cause they're mad are n00bs themselves. But not Adam. He's using it to analyze and talk about it.

I got called a noob just because i mine mith better and was not sharing mith rocks.

 

Comeon who shares rocks above coal?

 

 

 

To me, i feel people said that word out of jealousy

I have nothing to say on this topic, so i will just post this comic.

 

 

And when/if this gets taken down heres the link if people still want to see it, it may have a bad word or 2.

i got called a noob because onm y level 10 skiller i out mined a level 70, so he called me a noob, makes sense? i think not....

 

 

 

so yeh this word had now lost all meaning so just ignore it and do not use it, under any circumstance!

Thats excactly how i feel, while i'm being attacked by 27 lvl 70's in cwars and i die they reply with "0wn3d N()()B"

 

 

 

It gets me so frustrated.

What really makes me angry is when people of a lower level than you calls you a "noob."

 

 

 

I was fighting some Mossies the other day on Crandor. A ranger, whose combat level was 11 levels lower than mine, stole my kill. I ran up to him, did the "raspberry," "angry," and "stomp" emotes, and then he says, "What do you want noob?"

 

 

 

:evil:

 

 

 

People who use that term don't know what they're thinking/doing. :notalk:

word dawgs!

 

no seriously most people who use the word noob think they have earn some sort of deed to it and only they can use it....obserbe this conversation i had

 

 

 

mwa(lvl 30):can i buy your addy arrows?

 

him(lvl 86):yeah how many?

 

mwa:100 soo 10k?

 

him:omg is that all you have?noobert mcnoob thats way too low noobie

 

 

 

as you see, because he is a higher lvl, he can call me noob,yet when i say noob to him....

 

 

 

me:you the only noob here not like i knew!

 

him:i'm a noob?i could kill you easy noob you cant call me noob

 

 

 

not like i knew at the time! they think lvl means they are sooo good....

lol ya noob does'nt mean anything nowdays.

 

I was just walking and i guy and said i was noob because i was wearing zammy... :? and he was like 30 lvls under me and wearing iron...

annoying... YES!

 

a word (if its spelt noob)... NO!

 

 

 

it says it all above :)

I agree with what you say, the word is now nothing but a meaningless insult.

the word NEWB means a person who is new to the game. newbs should not be in[bleep]ed and should be helped whenever possible

 

 

 

NOOBs also have no idea what they are doing, but wont admit it. this behavior becomes very annoying in any game

 

 

 

newb: new to game

 

noob: new to game but tries to act cool by pretending they've been playing for ages

 

 

 

using the word noob as an insult is stupid, as it is not meant to be used as an insult

Getting offended cos I was called a 'noob'?

 

 

 

It's time to log off and get back to reality!

 

 

 

Seriously folks, some peeps are taking game playin too seriously!

 

 

 

Of course, if you really hate it, GET UR STATS UP! and I mean UP!

 

 

 

(Somewhere around 99 would be nice...)

The word noob is the abbreviation for every censored curse in runescape.
