Noob or "n00b", is a term often confused with newb, and is, infact, a completely different thing.

A noob is someone who is incompetent, has always been so and and always will be. The word noob comes from the words boob and newb, which is possibly where some of the confusion stems from. Despite sounding similar and looking as though they are related words, the meanings are alot different.

The difference between Noob and Newb.

A newb is just someone who is new. The word is a shortened version of 'newbie' and simply denotes someone who is new to something. Everyone was a newbie at one point in time, because when everyone starts a game it takes time to get used to it - even if its only 10 minutes.

A noob, as stated before, is someone who is useless, incompetent regardless of the length of time spent playing a game. Thier skills never improve, and despite it being possible to train them, they will always lack the sort of style, flair or skills that a normal player would exhibit; hence the term "You can train a noob, but it'll still just be a trained noob"
