The term "noob" actually originates out of underground Mortal Kombat gambling rings from back in the early 90s. Noob Saibot was a character in the game. He was woefully underpowered but had a really awesome design, so new players always picked him. Thus bad players were called "noobs" because they sucked as bad as Noob Saibot. This became generalized and spread to other fighting games, and eventually got online and into other genres with the introduction of StarCraft.
