    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.

    Only teen and pre-teen boys use noobie because it looks like boobie.

    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.)
