Calling people n00bs/newbies/other terms

[tony3]

This thread took a complete wrong turn in which I intended it to, lol.

when i was in boy scouts i was called a newb by the older guys a newb is basicaly a new person to the subject..i dont find it a harsh term just stating that your new and are basicaly cluless

[magking1971]

Today was my first day at my new job and was called newb all day..
Stuff like that do not bug me but when jerks call new kids at the field NEWBS! in a demeaning way I do get pissed.

I was thinkin the same thing.


I called my friend a newb before, just because everything i get he allways wants to get.

For instance.............. I got a double trigger for my tippmann now he wants one.

I Got a new gun, now he wants one

I need nitro now hes getting nitro

Hes only been playing 2 years though.


I think you ownlo have the right to call someone a newb if you have been playing more tahn half your life.


Im 15 been playing for 8!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT lol

umm did you ever think this might be somewhat of a coincidence? those are obvious and normal upgrades that most players get eventually. those are very normal upgrades for someone in their second year of pb. at least where i live.

Around here its really what is kool and works. If i get a new co2 tank he gets one. Its funny everything i seem to get he seams to compete.Im winning tho lol. He was talking about new gun before nitro which is what i did(shot myself in the foot there). I wish i woulda bought nitro first then bought the gun but allwell i almost have the money.

Around here its start with a tippmann/spyder and end with that gun unless u try to get into the tourney scene. Im trying to get on a team and such.

I agree mostly with you but in PB the upgrades that you state are very broad. If you said that you wanted a Blue Ule RT Pro custom, then he goes yeah I wanted one too. then it would be annoying.

I know n00b and newbie came from online gaming and stuff but they are used a lot in paintball. Has anyone ever said one of these at school/anywhere else to your none paintball friends and just got blank stares?

Yes, and then after about 5 seconds of staring at each other he called me a nerd.
