Newbie

(n.) A person who has recently started a new job, joined a new club, etc. “All of the work wasn’t finished, so we’ll just blame the newbie.” A similar definition appears at http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=newbie ; the entry is probably not specific to Geneseo. Bates.

–2) A play-off of the word “noob”; Newbie is generally thought of as a friendlier term, indicating someone who is inexperienced but nonetheless willing to commit his or herself to learning

Comments:

An extant variant spelling is "noobie", and in computer science registers, the same term might appear as "noob" or "n00b", a contraction of "newbie." KKirkman, 24Nov08
