What this does is watch all the chat channels for you and records it when someone says something that a noob would say. When you shif click the name or they join a raid, it will give you a quick one line report about how often they say noob things.
Here is a partial list of things it watches for: l33t m8t duds megan fox bruce lee norris give me gold last person to pwn stoned plx
It also watches for words that are not work safe so I will not list them here.
So the idea is while you afk in a major city, this is hard at work keeping an eye on everything everyone says.

Titansteelsword Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:35:13I love this addon. Its very entertaining to see how people rank. I have looked through the code a little and have seen a few words that seem very common, and not really noob-ish. Thinking about it, I suppose this would be good for a "base line". I have a 7% noob score myself, part of which comes from my occasional efforts at trying to herd 14 to 39 mildly retarded cats in various battlegrounds.
As previously stated, I do spend some time in pvp. When you enter a battle, the noob detector will list stats for certain players when they enter, but if they are part of the "8 players joined" grouping, it will not give you the stats. If you try to get the stats of someone not on your server, it will just return "0 players found", even though it does seem to keep track of them.
I find it also helps me decide if I should stay in EotS or go to SotA, if the current team has alot of noobs, what do you have to lose? Not being able to get a listing makes this trickier.
Would it be a possibility to add a database window? The only addon I can think of currently that would be comparable is GearScore. The ability to see the "top noobs" could make for interesting guild conversations.
There is another addon I use, called "DoIKnowYou" which has been outdated for a while (with a few "I might pick this up" posts on the host sites) but does not give me many issues. What it does, is give you an option to vote on other players. +1, -1, or 0. It then shares this information with other people in your guild that have the addon, and the scores are added up. If they have a score of 18, probably they are a very good player. If they have a score of -10, well, you get the idea.
Before I get lost in this wall of text, I will get to the point. I was thinking the other day, it would be interesting if you could take that functionality and add it to this. For example, if someone scores 50%+ on the noob detector, it would rank them down. If they had 25% or less, it would rank them up. Of course the percentages would have to be changeable for different servers and the varying amounts of noobs.
Being able to cross-reference with other people is always a good thing, as it starts to put a bit of pressure upon those who take no responsibility for their actions in a public setting, such as trade chat.
