Glossary Entry: n00b

A n00b is someone who is new to a game -- that is, they are a "newbie". Alternatively, there's the viewpoint that all beginners are newbies; a n00b is someone that never got any better and blames other people for their failures.

Either way, this term is usually meant as a mild insult, though it can also become a "friendly insult" between friends.
