Internet slang for a newcomer or newbie, common in gaming communities — particularly in EVE Online, where it has a fairly specific sense of a new player being welcomed into a corporation or alliance. The 'bro' ending makes it sound fraternal rather than dismissive, which distinguishes it from 'noob' or 'newbie' in tone. Typically used by experienced players addressing or referring to newer ones.

The corporation had a dedicated channel just for newbros to ask dumb questions without getting flamed.
Origin: Blend of 'new' + 'bro' (informal form of 'brother'), a common internet portmanteau pattern. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.
