It's because "newb" sounds exactly the same and actually does mean new.

In fact, I'm pretty sure "noob" derived from that to become a term to make fun of others.

Newb means new.

Noob has evolved into a word of annoying, stupid, foolish etc.


Noob isn't newb anymore. It's like founder's effect, but for words.
