A person who is clueless, misinformed or helplessly stupid. To be a noob requires one to be beyond help in any situation, and acting like one doesn't know, understand or comprehend what is going on. Being ignorant to the situation one is in and blundering about openly and embarrasingly is essential to n00bness. The word "noob" originates from mortal kombat, from a playable character by the name Noob Saibot, who was actually Sub-Zero risen from the grave. The character was pretty poorly executed on the top of another character in the game, and was occasionally refered to erroneously as kano by the game amongst other bugs. In the progress of time Noob became to mean Newbie because of the homonymic nature of the two words.
