Safety tab

A tab in your internet browser set to a harmless internet page, used to fall back onto when somebody walks in on you watching porn, cheating on a test, playing games in class, etc.

h0tg1rl69: -Why did you leave the free nude chat last night?
fatlonelyloser15: -My mom walked in on me so I had to fall back to my safety tab
h0tg1rl69: -Did it work?
fatlonelyloser15: -Yeah, wikipedia is such a innocent webpage...

Ranger Tab

One of the most badass awards in the Army. A person receives a Ranger Tab after completing the month course known as Ranger School. This course will push you to your limit, both physically and mentally.

What's that black and gold arc on that guy's bag??
Thats a Ranger tab. He's a bad ass.

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

Fish-tab

Fucking Illinois shithead towing a boat. Used to refer to the thousands of people from Illinois that cross the state line every weekend to litter and treat Wisconsin lakes like shit. Often caused by realization that Illinois has absolutely nothing to offer.

"Hey did you just see that Fish-tab throw a bag of McDonald's shit out of his window?"
"Yep, big surprise."

Tab Yawn

Seeing a fellow bar or restaurant customer ask for a tab therefore causing all surrounding to ask for their tabs as well. Similar to Cell Phone Yawn.

Judy asked the bartender for her tab. Three surrounding individuals said, "Go ahead and get mine too," therefore creating a Tab Yawn.

Tab Hijack

When you go to a website (usually via Google) and upon finding nothing useful, it wont let you leave by either:

A) Making you outsmart the website by pressing the back button twice in quick succession.

B) Giving up and opening a new tab because the above was futile.

"Damn, I wanted to find a picture of that CD, but this useless website Tab Hijacked me!"
