I would say it's short for "newbie." - Marlo

Err.. yeah. That sure is a creative etymology there. --Narcissam 18:12, 24 November 2005 (GMT)

And do tell what "newbie" is short for? The "new boy" tale is hardly unknown. Also: mainly, it's a joke. ... --Hinkeh 18:54, 24 November 2005 (GMT)

I looked it up on TFD.com and, as I suspected, it's formed from the word "new," the same way the word "freebie" comes from "free." If it's a joke, then it's a joke (though I don't get it). --marlo 21:48, 2 February 2006 (GMT)
