Stop saying nub. It's loving handicapped. That Nickelodeon show iCarly said it, someone replaced 'noob' with it, it became a fad.

Wasn't "nub" used a lot even before it appeared on the show?

--- Quote from: History ---In the 1960s–1970s the term "newbie" had a limited usage among U.S. troops in the Vietnam War as a slang term for a new man in a unit.[5] Its earliest known usage on the Internet may have been on the Usenet newsgroup talk.bizarre.[6] The term is believed to have entered online usage by 1981.[7]

--- Quote from: Variants ---Coming from an oral tradition, the term has variant spellings. Among alternative forms are newby, nubie, and "newbee" (e.g. Los Angeles Times of August 1985: "It had to do with newbees. I could be wrong on the spelling, but newbees are the rookies among the Blue Angels...").[4]
Two related terms are "newb", a beginner who is willing to learn; and "noob" (often spelt "n00b" or "nub"), a derogatory name.[8] "noob" was among candidates for the one-millionth English word selection by the Global Language Monitor.[9][10]

If you've learned that.. you shouldn't had made this topic in the first place.
This is just bad publicity, imo.
