Surface rubbing can refer to:
1.) Copying somebody's music style; biting, but to a far larger extent - rather than replicating their style, like what happened to autotuning, the music sounds almost identical.
2.) Trying to replicate someone's way of life.
3.) Try to become a higher social status by replicating someone's behavior, thought to be edgy or cool.

Jill: No way! The colonization of Mars has been talked about for decades and now Elon Musk is on board.
John: Don't succumb to surfacism Jill!

Someone who, instead of putting things away (ie: keys, purses, loose change, etc), puts them on any flat surface. The accumulation of such items usually results in the creation of a DOOM box.
"The dining room table is so cluttered with random items because my wife is a surface putter. I'm fixin' to make her a DOOM box."
