  Newbie must be a recent new use as here is it is according to the glossary.
Quote
Clark: 1) (also Clarkish, Clarkworthy, Dave, etc.) descriptive, sarcastic term coined by TZ legend Andyzipp in a now-famous take which serves to strongly emphasize any extraordinary, fantastic or above average feat. (ex. "Biggio stealing third in that situation was absolutely Clark.") Sarcastic reference is to the horrible 1998 performance of ex-Astros OF/PH Dave Clark. 
  Looks like we need a new entry for the glossary.  I know I alwas thought it was for a newbie.

The title of "clark" for newbies has always been used by OWA since the transition from astrosconnection.com. It was an inside joke based on Zipper's infamous clark rant.

Clark: someone who inevitably gets told to fuck off no matter what their opinion may be.  Could be considered a rite of passage

Unfortunately, our latest and greatest software doesn't allow custom titles.  You'd think with all the geekery around here we could make that happen, but noooooooooo.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Not really, but halfway through one of them, say this one, it'll seem like 600.
