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!"

rom surfing

Channel surfing but for video game roms. Common for console modders with nothing better to do. They're Likely to only play a game for less than ten minutes before declaring falsely that they shall continue sometime and moving on to the next game. They crave instant gameplay and novelty which leads them to playing many licensed games. Usually they aren't big on rpgs. Afterwards they often come back to a popular game they're familiar with as a form of comfort food.

"Man I've been rom surfing on this genesis emulator for an hour I should really find something and stick to- holy shit there's a tick game!?"

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."

Stealth Surfing

Surfing the internet at work, while appearing to be very busy working.

Usually accomplished by having several documents / programs open on your computer, while you surf the web. With one click, you are back to studying that interminable excel spreadsheet.

"Dude, I have so much work on my plate, but I spent the morning stealth surfing."
