newbs
Inexperienced online players
Newbs is the plural of newb, a spelling variant of noob or n00b—someone new and inexperienced, especially in online games or internet communities.
The term carries mild contempt, suggesting not just inexperience but cluelessness: The server was overrun with newbs who didn't know the basic mechanics.
Less harsh than noob in some contexts, though the distinction is slight.
