Well sadly most times it's either used offensively or taken offensively so not sure (unless you aren't on abassa :P) that there is a "joking" manner of the word. But I understand, it's like calling someone a name in real life. You need to be sure you're joking because the person you're name-calling to just might take the "slang" or "hurtful words" to heart and you can get in real trouble for that sort of thing. It's abuse. And when you're on pirates and someone is name calling like that, saying you don't get dates, whether it's serious or not... ITS A FORM OF CYBER-BULLYING! so that's why I don't use the term "noob" no matter how it's used.
