About Noob Noob (also commonly spelled as n00b, newb, newbie, nob, or nub) is an internet slang used to describe a new, or inexperienced player. It usually means "newcomer" which, in this sense, is an inexperienced person to a particular activity. After a long time of use, the misspelled newb became its own word. To this day, people are constantly confusing "noob" with "newb", claiming that it means a new or inexperienced player, but that is not usually the intention of the user of the word. The stereotypical noob appearance has been a major part of Roblox's culture for several years, often being worn by old and new users alike and being referenced in games, accessories, gear, and bundles. It is also sometimes associated with wider Internet meme culture, which includes the ''oof'' classic death sound.
