Define noob, newb, and scrub. Thoughts please.

I keep seeing these come up in the forums. Being unfamiliar with them, I looked them up and found these definitions. newb - a new, young player who is new to the game and trying to get better. Learns from mistakes and is polite noob - someone who has played for any length of time, but refuses to learn or uses cheap, simple tactics. Also annoys other players scrub - synonym for noob or newb - someone who keeps making the same mistake in a video game - someone who adds their own rules to the game and insists everyone abide by them, too (no camping, no using this gun/character, etc.) I keep seeing these used in contexts that don't make sense for their definitions. Unless, I'm missing what they really mean. Especially scrub. I saw it all the time for people calling Thorn users scrubs, when they were really noobs and the accuser was the scrub, telling them to not use Thorn because it was overpowered. Let me know y'alls thoughts.

  • A noob is someone that does cheap tactics to play a game. A newb is someone that doesn't know much about a game because they are new to it. A scrub is someone that is awful at the game and uses any kind of crutch they possibly can
