Today’s random thought comes from something I overheard.
While walking through the halls of the college (where I now magically work), I pass by two girls. With a look of disdain, approaching pure disgust, one says to the other: “Why are guys such noobs?”
I’m about 14 years older than these girls, and my (internal) reaction was: “YEAH. Why ARE guys such noobs?!”
Good question. Bonus marks.
The Breakfast Club... a classic.
For my elderly, non-hip readers, a definition from urban dictionary:
Contrary to the belief of many, a noob/n00b and a newbie/newb are not the same thing. Newbs are those who are new to some task and are very beginner at it, possibly a little overconfident about it, but they are willing to learn and fix their errors to move out of that stage. n00bs, on the other hand, know little and have no will to learn any more. They expect people to do the work for them and then expect to get praised about it, and make up a unique species of their own.
Napoleon Dynamite... the upside of being a total noob
