life-noob

A life-noob (a.k.a lifenoob, lifenub, and other l33tspeak variations) is a person who cannot handle, cope with, or live in the real world. They often turn to "living on the net", and prove their worth by playing immersive games such as MMORPG's. While they often master such environments by rapidly advancing to the highest level, they're lack of understanding of society and community usually make them appear to be immature 12 year olds with no command of any language (not even l3375p34k).

While he often said it to people in real life, it was first posted on the 'net in a comical thread within the forums of the MMORPG entitled "The Matrix Online". The original poster was (me) wwWizard2k (I claim the coinage of this word, it's not here, or on a basic google search =P), who had lost his cool at the lack of community, and decided to rant off some advice to his peers with a Sunscreen parody.

Generally used on the internet and in real-life, this word has many origins. Generally used to describe someone as an outcast, or someone who does something out of the norm on a constant basis.

Meaning 1: Someone who fails simple everyday tasks. For example - failing to operate an ATM, tie ones shoes properly or wash their hands after using the toilet.

Meaning 2: Someone who fails to socialise in a normal way. For example - at a pub or club, attempting to use a pick-up line on a girl.

Meaning 3: Someone who can no longer function properly in a real environment, and must live constantly "online" connected to their computer/mobile phone/television/etc
