Forum Old Man/Woman's Club : Other n00bz, the definition of..

I was reading the latest thread from Wusy and had a small post about 'what the hell is a noob?'.. so I'm walking down to get a cup of coffee at work.. and I was thinking to myself..

Most noobs don't know their a noob.. so we need to help them know that they're a noob.. but was is the real definition of a noob.. so, do a search on 'definition of noob' and let's see what everything finds.

I found, from America's Army forum (which happened to be the #1 result of 'definition of noob' on Google):

Deorgatory slang for a player who does something stupid, often repeatedly, and who may be a new player

I like the "does something stupid; often"

<A HREF="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=noob" target="_new">UrbuanDictionary Def of Noob</A>

Shortened form of "newbie," the most hilarious insult ever invented, in which a person who uses a computer game too much is ridiculing one who does not, for being "new" at the game, which of course they once were. Generally speaking, the speaker of this "insult" is one who should be on the receiving end of most insults. Commonly found in allegiance with "1337$1'331<," or "leetspeak," the accepted language of computer gaming geeks which takes a ludicrous amount of time to type.

(A good deal of this definition is opinionated, given. But the definition still resides within.)
"MY ARE 1337 CRO-MAGNON H4XX0R!!! MY ARE PWN J00!!! n00b!!!"


I prefer the first definition so far myself..

I really like the "spends too much time" portion of the non-noob.. like there is a happy medium or something.

Too much is never enough, and enough is always too little.


and another damn thing.. why do the majority of people that work with computers lack a f***ing sense of humor?

Everything is so serious and any sense of humor is completely void.

I don't talk about computers outside forums and at work.. No one knows I work with computers and I don't let people know cause they instantly get some stereotype that I'm a basement dwelling, game playing, mountain dew code red, haven't showered in 3 weeks because I want that extra time to play my game or search the web for the latest nerd gadget type.

I hate the stereotype.. because it's so damn true with the majority of people who work on computers. Long hair in a pony tail, with an AC/DC or Metallica shirt..

or just really nerdy looking with tacky clothing.

I probably just pegged 80% of posters.. but hey, I picked the field and I get to work around these types of people. I guess it helps me feel better.. and look/dress better.

I agree that not everybody that likes computers has to be a nerd. There's a big percentage that looks like the description you gave, computers is a hobby to me but I have other <A HREF="http://www.scamtron.com/php/dunklegend.htm" target="_new">hobbies</A>

You like jumping? Since when is that a hobby?? haha

I have a huge list of hobbies that I do.. and I do well at work within my field.. but then you have those people who give up everything except computers.

There can be only 1 Bill Gates.. and guess what.. and that slot is filled and probably won't exist again for a long time.. unless you figure out some massive world dominating 'thingie' that creates a revolution.

Not that I doubt people today are capable of it, but I doubt that kind of opportunity still exists in the computer field.. to the degree that Bill Gates grasped.

Reply to riser

Actually I'm an engineer, and basketball, and computers are my hobbies.

White nerds CAN jump! =p

I used to work with your type.. man.. you guys were horrible. haha :)

But there are some really cool ones.. I worked with 300.. and maybe 10 had personalities. :)

What kind of engineer?

I worked with structural, mechanical, chemical, process, civil, and a few other random ones.. a big variety but that's the general variety..

You can hide up my arse. There's plenty of room, just be careful because Eden's greasy cock slides in and out occassionally.

And bring an umbrella. There can be sudden showers in there, if you know what I mean.

Ever hear that guy talk about the gerbil up the guy's hole and his butt buddy held a match to his hole and blew the gerbil out and severely burned the guy?

Of course we heared about that, that is the whole point of urban legends. Everybody hears about it. It just never happened, of course, but who cares?

everyone liked the noid, no one knew what he was though.
that's back when mcdonald's had commercials aimed at the whole population.. now they seem to just target Black people instead.
