What's on your mug?

Newb is the abbreviation of Newbie, a term describing someone who is new at a game/forum/activity. Not to be confused with Noob, an annoying ignorant bastard. Newbs are meant to be nutured and cared for, least they become a noob. If you deal with a newb carefully, they may become a respected member of any community.

Newb: "How do I drive a car?" Player: "Press (button)" Newb: "Oh thanks!" noob: l0l noob, u cant do anything Newb: I suddenly... feel the need.. to talk in l3tt3rs... lol.. lolcats.. Player: Oh god..

Noun: A person, usually new to a game or forum, who is willing to get better. May devolve into a noob.

Newb: Hey, anyone know at what level I get the Fire Blade? Experienced Player: At level 15. Newb: Thanks. Also, where is Ronald for the quest "Cash Crops"? Experienced Player: Just east of the Moon River where the rocks form a bridge. Newb: Hold on... found him. Thanks!

Someone who is new to something, commonly online games. Not to be confused with "noob," or "n00b," which are people who play games online who purposely cause problems for others.

A newb is a particular person who is bad at gaming. It doesn't have to be on games, it can be on the internet. Remember, a newb is not the same as a noob or n00b. A newb tries to get better and tries to turn into a pro, meanwhile a noob or n00b tries to beg and plead for modship, extras, etc., they also try to play the game without any help and tries to think they're doing the right thing. (tip: these words are not meant to be insults.)

"Newb: How do you get the c4? Battlefield player: You must be a newb, you get it by trying to level up. Newb: Thanks for the tip. :)" (THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF A NOOB OR N00B:) "Noob: *shoots down an friendly helicopter* Cool! I got points! Hey admin, can I get more good guns?! The guy in the helicopter: Hey noob! Stop killing me! I'm just trying to unlock some shit for my helicopter!"
