Nerd Surfing

Nerd Surfing is when someone (not necessarily a nerd) is surfing the internet, opening numerous, (generally informative) web pages. This includes sites such as Wikipedia. The essence behind nerd surfing is when the person sees a link(s) on one page, he/she opens the link 'in a new tab' or 'in a new window' and repeatedly does so until a chain of informative web pages are open all at once. This can often lead to a bizarre number of tabs being open, and can often create somewhat of a snowball effect.

Nerd Surfing is NOT when someone imitates surfing over a pile of upset nerds.

A - "What's that guy doing?"
B - "Oh, he's just nerd surfing the ScienceDaily.com"
A - "Dude...he has SO many tabs open!"
B - "I know right! That's some proper nerd surfing!"

Guy 2: Oh please god, help them; their level of stupidity is painful to witness.

surfing the Hub

Surfing the Hub is what most men do every night. Maybe even twice a day. You unbuckle your belt, you pull your Batman undies down, grab some lotion and tissues, open up PornHub, and search tirelessly for a video that'll do the job.

"Why were you taking so long in there?"
"Oh, sorry I was just surfing the Hub."
