Newb- A Definition

I found this educational:

"The main characteristic of noob talk is to make numerous spelling mistakes and overuse common Internet slang. Some noob talk includes l33t characteristics, such replace "E" with "3" or "you" with "j00". It is easy to discern between "real" noob talk and "joke" noob talk. In many ways, this is similar to the 1980s B1FF postings on Usenet."
 
this was funny...i dunno if i've ever known that there are two different kinds of newbs/noobs.

The following is the likely etymology of n00b:

1. newcomer (original word)

2. newbie (new person)

3. newby (variation of newbie)

4. newb (shortened version of newbie)

5. noob (a variant probably both for phonetics and Leetspeak, also sometimes used as slander)

6. n00b (Leet speak of "noob")

 
thank you for not being a noob and playing it off as you already new. Im with you tho, i didnt know they were different.
 
So the differences between n00b and newb have been set out. Can someone please now inform me of the differences between boob and bewb? I'm pretty sure booth have the potential to get laid...
