Newb is a new person, short for newbie
a Noob or n00b is a annoying spammer of a sort. Ussually used on forums like this. Also another word in the ever so growing leet language
'Noob' is an offensive term rarely applied to people that are actually new to a particular online game or community. Different online social groups consider different types of people to fall under the category of being a 'noob'. For instance, people who type with correct syntax will often label people who substitute words such as 'you' and 'are' with 'u' and 'r' as being quite 'noobish'. Immature players in video games will often label their opponents as "noobs", regardless of whether they have lost or won.
Generally, however, people use 'noob' as an applicable insult for anyone who happens to piss them off. A person will also often use this term to describe people that they feel are beneath them. Many times, during online arguments, players will pull this term out of their asses as an insult when their own 'wit' is running dry.
A newb is quite different from a n00b, being that a newb IS a new player. Not only are they new, but they ask politely for things, are respectful, and are pleasant people.
