A newbie is a newcomer to a particular field, the term being commonly used on [the Internet], where it might refer to new, inexperienced, or ignorant users of a game, a newsgroup, an operating system or the Internet itself. The term is generally regarded as an insult, although in many cases more experienced/[knowledgeable] people use it in purposes of [negative reinforcement], urging "newbies" to learn more about the field or area in question. Variant spellings, such as newb, nub, noob, nooblet, foob, noobcake and, in Leetspeak, n00b are numerous and common in Internet use. The term newb itself is usually used to refer to a person who is new to the field in question, whereas noob is used as an insult. For example, in the internet show "Pure Pwnage," the main character regularly says, "I pwn noobs," in this case, meaning he beats people of lower skill than himself.
