tab-pwn 

A commonly used DeviantArt daMN term colloquially used to describe an effective way of addressing the username without typing it out. It is more commonly used addressing the wrong user however.

~kitty9390: It's a pain typing out your username.
=Senor-Captain-Red-Wing29387: Just type "Se" and hit tab.
** `SeeMyHeartBleedBlack288 has entered **
~kitty9390: SeeMyHeartBleedBlack288: Thanks. XD
`SeeMyHeartBleedBlack288: Wha?
~kitty9390: Blargh?! I got tab-pwned! D<

None of the actual usernames exist...at least not to my knowledge. Anything else is completely coincidental and unintentional.

tab rat 

A person who compulsively collects and keeps many tabs open on their web browser. Also a person who refuses to close a tab on their web browser for fear that they will regret it in the future, and so ends up compiling more tabs day after day.

My one friend is such a tab rat; she's so obsessed with fanfiction that every time she finds a new link to a new fic, she will keep it open on her browser until the foreseeable future in case she needs to re-read it.

Tab Anxiety 

When a tab whore cannot bear to shutdown his computer for the risk of losing all the open websites in his tab dump.

Dude, my computer is runnin slower than turtles stampeding through peanut butter.

Just restart it fuckface.

Can't. My tab anxiety's killin' me. I need to check out these links but haven't had the time.

Tab Out

"Tab Out" is a term commonly used in nightclubs and bars that a patron and/or server uses to indicate that it's time to pay the tab (the bill).

This is not to be confused with the term pay up, but it is similar to settle up and pay out.

Hey Bill, I'm gonna tab out after I have one more shot of Jaeger.

Tab illusion

When someone is supposed to be writing something and isn't, yet leaves one tab open in his/her browser that relates to what he's supposed to be doing, making it appear as if the person is actually doing something. I'm doing it right now

Person 1: Isn't John supposed to be writing a cross-analysis on the early philosophers? Why are all these facebook and youtube pages open?

Person 2: But look, his current tab is a Wikipedia entry on Plato

Person: Wow, I can't believe you fell for the tab illusion
