May 12 2009Sure, Why Not?: 'Noob' Makes It To Dictionary

MORE: communication, eh, fine, geekologie, language, letters, next up: pew pew!, noob newb newbie nubbin, okay, questionable, sure why not, words

I don't know how much truth there is to this, but let's be honest, I'd still post it even if my only source was overhearing the crazy guy at the bar telling himself. BECAUSE I OWN JOURNALISM. So allegedly, 'noob' is coming to the dictionary, and will also carry the honor of being the millionth word. Snap, you just got PWNED, lexicon!

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 specatacles and smirk at the amusing irony of it all.

So a word becomes official when it's used 25,000 times by media outlets, huh?

I think we're getting close!

Noob to become the millionth word in the English language? [destructoid]

Thanks to Salazar, who suggests we petition to have bangarang included as well.

A lot of words have made it to the dictionary. Semi related, dinofûcking is apparently going to be discussed on the hill as skullfûcking was. I am confident is positive results

What am I doing, that is already in the dictionary

11. Leonidas - May 12, 2009 12:00 PM

Meh, I thought the English dictionary had way more than a million words in it long ago. I guess some words have just become redundant in the meantime, like "you're" for instance.

12. Pew³ - May 12, 2009 12:00 PM

pew pew pew p.....

oh wait, I don't want that in the dictionary, that's so conformist, man!

FTW!

13. Riker - May 12, 2009 12:07 PM

Heh, was just stopping by to mention it, but Leonidas beat me to the punch. There are over 5 million words in the English language, according to some sources (thought this probably includes olde english).

I really hate that I cannot even begin to explain to you how....
you know what? Nevermind. It's a waste of energy.

21. Darth - May 12, 2009 1:18 PM

I thought 'noob' was already an English word.Congrats to 'noob' anyway!

22. His Huge Greatness Himself - May 12, 2009 1:28 PM

Despite my impressive knowledge of the English language i haven't heard of 'noob' yet.The opportunity is rare but it's always good to add more words to my extensive vocabulary.

23. Pew³ - May 12, 2009 1:33 PM

I thought it was supposed to be spelled with either capital o's or zero's.

i.e.

nOOb

n00b

no?

24. naas - May 12, 2009 1:41 PM

It works either way Pew³, at least that's what the webz says.

25. r-tard - May 12, 2009 2:10 PM

who cares? You know who does? Noobs.

The mortal kombat thing is funny though.

I don't even know what comment # this is, but when scrolling down I couldn't help noticing how all that looks like one giant tape measure.

Any chance someone could put numbers in there, making it look like a perfect ruler with numbers when scrolling through that much text? That would be a much more impressive waste off time I think
