So I found a pretty lengthy thread here debating this topic. My experience of "NOOB" (at work, mostly) is as a slightly derogatory term for someone who doesn't know what they're doing and new to a particular field or endeavour, mostly related to IT.

To be frank, I find it pretty funny that this should be so hotly debated or found offensive by anyone. This is the Internet, after all.

I won't be editing my original post, mainly because I refer to myself as a NOOB, not anyone else. It's humour, and self-deprecating.
