        nub caik - total idiot
        Whatever! It is like a whole new language, i really don't understand half he says to me anymore.
        There are alternative spellings, newb is frequently written n00b and poned is frequently written pwned, it's all part of the l337 (pronounced leet, as in Elite) sub-culture within the on-line gaming community.

            I think it did originally mean lots of love and I was also confused when people started using it in what I thought were odd situations.

                      OK so give us a few clues (there must be less rude ways of saying something similar enough that we can work it out)
