So
basically
there
was
a
period
of
"noob"
being
a
bannable
offense.
People
created
permutations
of
the
word
as
a
way
of
sidestepping
and
highlighting
the
silliness
of
banning
a
specific
word.
As
the
permutations
grew
more
farfetched
(
because
people
quickly
ran
out
of
good
ideas)
it
organically
arrived
at
"lobster".
With
this
a
lot
of
new
word
play
opened
up
(
"grilling"
etc.
)
,
and
people
had
forgotten
why
they
were
permuting
the
word
"noob"
in
the
first
place.
So
it
has
just
sort
of
stuck
around
long
enough
to
get
exposure
and
become
something
of
a
forced
meme.
