someone inexperienced or unskilled, often in gaming or online communities

Noob is a slang term used in gaming to refer a player who is inexperienced, new to a game, or not very skilled. It can be used in a lighthearted or teasing way, but it can also be used in a more insulting manner, especially if the player makes mistakes or fails to understand the game's mechanics. While the term originally referred to beginners, it has evolved to sometimes describe anyone who plays poorly, regardless of experience. However, being called a noob is not always negative, as everyone starts as a beginner at some point.

Some noobs spend hours on every little detail.
