You have got to be kidding me.  From destructoid:

The word “noob” has its heavy roots in gamer culture, which should be obvious since we’re talking about it. In case you didn’t know, a “noob” is a person who is new to a particular game and is yet to learn the ropes. It’s also seen a lot of use among online communities to “welcome” fresh faces, and has become an accepted term of abuse for anybody who looks like they don’t know what they’re doing. 

The Global Language Monitor accepts words once they have been used 25,000 times by media outlets. According to the reports, this hints at “noob” becoming the millionth word, which would happen on June 10, 2009, at 10:20am. At that moment, the word “noob” will itself become a noob in the English language, and we will all polish our spectacles and smirk at the amusing irony of it all.

If the machines ever do become self-aware and turn against us, I will be on their side.  My allegiance will begin on June 10, 2009 at 10:20 am.  You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
