Right, i really want to know why, when we get annoyed, we call people noobs. We were all noobs at one part in our JK2/3 lives right..? so why do we keep on doing it...?

I used to call people noobs and stuff... back in the days when everyon was talking in 1337 5p34k. Nowadays I'm a bit wiser. It's better to tell a noob what to do right than to throw in their face what they did wrong.

GAH! I said noob again... *wipes tounge off with soap*

It's like seniors in high school being mean to underclassmen, it's a vicious cycle and must be stopped.

newbie
A newbie (pronounced NOO-bee) is a novice or neophyte: anyone who is new to any particular type of endeavor, such as a sport or a technology. The term is commonly applied to new users of personal computers and to new users of the Internet. According to Eric Raymond's The New Hacker's Dictionary, Newbie is a variant of the English public school term, new boy, someone in the first year or period of school. The term predates the Web and has been used for some time in Usenet newsgroups. Glenn Connery reports that he used the term in 1990 as a participant in Internet chatting group.
Newb, noob, and n00b, (the central characters in the latter term are zeroes, visually suggestive of a pair of wide eyes) are commonly used short forms. Noob and n00b are sometimes used to indicate a newbie who has unwarranted confidence in their knowledge and/or abilities.

That's not entirely true. There's a difference between n00bs and newbies. :)
