Random thought: there's gay (which I don't see the difference except that docs use 'homosexual'), and there's also 'noob'. :D Yes I'm a gamer, why do you ask, lol.
calling somebody a noob isn't offensive to newbies until the person makes clear they apply it to all newbies. Hell the terms have grown so far apart that they're generally accepted as not even being related anymore. Doesn't take long for words to change it seems.
