10I feel like there's a good backstory to this one :P– Bryant Makes ProgramsCommented May 22, 2017 at 13:38

3Not enough for an answer, therefore here as comment: I always found that the TV series Scrubs had a very good German localization. Specifically, Dr. Cox calling JD "newbie" was translated into German as Flachzange, which are literally flat pliers. I never heard it in use before but it fits just perfectly, somehow.– IanCommented May 23, 2017 at 6:35

1You can't really use Flachzange that anywhere else though, it's idiosyncratic.– Felix DombekCommented May 23, 2017 at 7:24

4Also, Flachzange does not connote new-ness at all, only stupidity and inferiority.– Hagen von EitzenCommented May 23, 2017 at 12:55

1@HagenvonEitzen - neither does "noob", really. People who have played Dota for 10 years still get called noobs every day.– DavorCommented May 24, 2017 at 12:48

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. word-usage), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
