Hah! From that dictionary, I found this statement, in definition:
"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."
Uh huh. Now I get it! ;-)
In the lexicon of "newbie", I simply used "noob" as a shorthand
phonetic equivalent. I first ran into the term "newbie" in the
context of motorcycling ... a contraction of "new biker". Nothing
perjorative or disparaging intended.
