Hardly a pervasive term
n00b is much more pervasive. Not that I'm advocating that it be put in.

Like the term though :thumbsup:

I'm going to start using the phrase more. I'll make it famous! And then when it gets all big headed and says it doesn't need me anymore, I'll slap it around a bit and shout things like "I own you!" and the world shall me mine... You'll see! You'll all see....*mumble*...*mutter mutter*.....*dissolves into incomprehensible gibberish*
