The term likely spread through Korean game communities and forums as a visual-shape meme based on 뉴비. The exact first use is unclear, but it belongs to the broader 야민정음 habit of replacing Hangul letters with similar-looking shapes; here 뉴비 is playfully distorted into 늒네.

originThe expression is tied to 야민정음, a Korean internet writing style that spread widely through online communities in the mid-2010s. The exact first use of 머박 is hard to pin down, but it follows the same visual-shape logic as 띵언, 머기업, and 댕댕이.
