User blog comment:Happy Boy/Noob or Newb/@comment-1627289-20100224061825

A newb is someone who is new to something, say a new kid at your school, you'd call them that (I tend to call them the FNG but that's besides the point).

And Noob, no one really knows what that means. In a nut shell, it's either an expression of frustration, much like saying "Jesus Chrsit" when annoyed/upset with something. Or, a person who needs to used something overpowered/high powered to get kills. Take the grenade launcher for instance, it's high powered, and many people use it at close range (when in actually fact it's not really meant to be), thus it is called the 'noob tube'.
