I just hate it when I am playing Halo2 and some 12 year old kid (most likely a boy but they all sound like little girls) starts saying Noob every 10 seconds. That and Mom jokes are just getting very old. Mostly because they can't do it right...

me- "the bomb is behind the base"
12 yr old- "Your moms behind the base"
me- "wtf are you talking about?"
12 yr old- "shut up Noob!"

I really wish they had age groups you that you could enter into.

*dripping sarcasm again*

Like I said, I lurked, but don't post (although I was sure I had a username before (must have been an old yahoo email account))... but I had to post a response to this thread, so created an account...

N00B doesn't bother me... everybody was one once, and by lurking, you USUALLY don't show that you are a newbie... you learn (hopefully) from other's mistakes!

why can't you stand n00b? it's really not that awful.

did they tease you about your n00biness as a child? if so, i'm sorry if we're dredging up bad memories. :(

n00b is not an acronym. and for the record, j00=n00b

What gets to me is when n00bs use the term n00b. (Forget that I'm still a n00b here, I'm talking about internet in general.)
