Slang used to describe an individual new to many things, parkour amongst them.

Though if someone calls me noob, I am not generally effected, but I see this as a derogatory statement only. A better term for a beginner would be Novice.

In my standpoint and by seeing how the word "noob" has been used all the time, is such a term as an insult to someone for their lack of knowledge or understanding, or in some cases for having a different Point of View.

i know it sounds the same, but i think that 'newb' is a better term.

noob has more stigma and '1337' ness attatched to it.

newb has the word 'new' in it, and thus implies someone who is new, a new, or newb.

less derogatory i think.

It does matter in the presentation of the word, this I understand. So I can see that in some cases calling someone "Newb" can even be meant with endearment. Such as "Hey here is my little brother Jimmy, he is a newb at ______ but he'll be kicking ass soon"

and then there is "You dont know what ______ is? you are a newb!" you get the idea

But I understand what yer getting at also.

YO Jimmy is a cool name

(cause its mine)

Context is always the turning point. But Newb is better.

I think both probably come from the term "Newbie" !

but anyway.

to me a noob is an ignorant newcomer 'parkour is what you make it, parkour is freedom of movement, david does flips so why does he got to do them in parkour, no your wrong because this is the case, he clearly flips while the word parkour is said in that article...'

I have very very little respect for those kinds of people, to me newbs on the other hand are newcomers, who are sitting there with open ears and listening, learning, asking questions and not looking to be right, but to be more educated. I like those kind of people a lot (basically 'caus I really hate ignorance...)

Now that is deep, but also quite true.

i believe that there is a certain period of time before someone chnages from a newb to a good traceur. I think that it is about like 3 months or so agree?

are you just sayin that cause you have been doin pk for 3 months and you dont want to be a noob lol. jk. i think that you stop being a noob when you stop thinking yourself as one.

I dont mind the word. But i dont like it put negatively. Jokingley is the best for this word. Ive been called a noob and it just sounds bad unless you know theyre kidding. And you are not a noob at parkour. Your a blahbarian
