I'm looking for some slangs of: "beginner" I think there are many kinds of "beginners" that u can use in the proper moments. I like to play a lot of games so I know exactly what means : "newbie" or just "noob". How about other situations? I have a lot friends who start to work recently, so, I like to mock them. hehe. The first expression that came into my mind was: "you're a novice guy" Ough! Thats sounds awful !! Can any1 help me? Regards.

rookie green greenhorn new guy Also, you would just say “You’re a novice.” There is no need to put “guy” on the end.

Use "rookie", it is definitely what you are looking for if your friends come from the American culture. Definitely DO NOT use whippersnapper in this context, greenhorn and grasshopper are awkward ;p

I like going with: Grasshopper Or Whippersnapper
