So You’ve Been Called a Noob

One of the most overused words of today is noob. It used to be that a noob was someone who was new to a game and didn’t know the way around. Today that is a newbie. A noob is now someone who is new and refuses to understand the rules of the game when told or read the documentation to learn the rules. Not many people know this. In fact, when I told someone in the Barrens that Obama is too noob to be president they called me a racist. Huh? Hardly. I’d take anyone who was an experienced Libertarian no matter what color, gender, or religion thank you very much.

So when is it okay to call someone a noob? Actually, you can say whatever you want because we live in a free world and if Blizzard doesn’t like the word you say they’re going to censor it. Is it okay to cal someone a noob? Sure, but if you’re doing it in game and doing it because someone asks a question or does something dumb then you’ve lowered you IQ about 100 points. It’s a very insecure and childish word. It’s something my kids and I joke around about but never call people in the game because really only noobs call each other noobs because they really just sound like boobs (dumb people not the other kind. get your mind out of the gutter will ya?)
