Noob

Noob (also commonly spelled as n00b, newb or nub) is an internet slang used as an insult for a stupid, annoying, or inexperienced player. The word is a misspell of "newb" (short for "newbie"), which means an inexperienced newcomer to a particular activity. After a long time of use, the misspelled "newb" became its own word. To this day, people are constantly confusing "noob" with "newb", claiming that it means a new or inexperienced player, but that is not usually the intention of the user of the word.

Players usually call other players a noob when they are irritated, annoyed, upset, or angry, with the intention to mock another player, or belittle them if they defeat them at an activity. However, people also typically call others a noob simply as trash talk or as an insult.

"Noob", despite much confusion, is not synonymous with "newbie" ("newb" for short) in the ROBLOX community, as well as most of the internet. While "noob" is slang for a stupid, annoying, or inexperienced player, "newbie" or "newb" is used as a more literal term for an inexperienced or new player to an activity. However, "newbie" can also be used as an insult.
