...does noob here just refer to a new (green) user? Or is it something else?

Noob comes from newb, which comes from newbie. Some argue it comes from "nubile" but I don't personally buy that etymology. I distinctly remember "newb" followed by "noob" but that was eons ago.

Always thought it was "new" but made to sound like "boob" because it's funny.
