    Default Newbie or Noobie



    Very important topic here...

    Newbie or noobie?

    I've seen other spellings as well.

    Can we allow this deplorable lack of consistency to continue?

    What about nu-bee? Or noobee?

    I'd spell it newbie, but thats just me! I dont really use the expression that much, I just tend to say "new guys" more than anything else.

    I use newbie. Noob seems more denigrating. (Maybe because it is so close to boob one meaning of which is a stupid person; fool; dunce.)

    Be glad you're not a Union Ironworker apprentice. Punk is the terminology used to refer to an apprentice by journeyman ironworkers. An apprentice carrying iron is 'punkin iron'. No disrespect in the name, just what evolved from the old days.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Hmm... Every time it's used in reference to me, it's always "stupid newbie". I didn't know there were variations...

    most of us here are old enough to not really care about how correct our internet shorthand is.

    I say go with whatever.

    We will understand what is being said.
