tab-hoarding

Refers to the overall habit of reluctantly keeping multiple internet-browsing tabs open at the same time, for a long duration of time. Often this is done as a way to temporarily save & set aside the tabs for later use. This is because the individual intended to permanently close it after they were done using it.

Note: The individual in question (called a "tab-hoarder"), does not necessarily have to have all the different tabs opened in the same window, at the same time, to be considered "tab-hoarding".

It should also be noted that there is no scientifically agreed-upon consensus on the minimum number of tabs & time duration required for one to identify as "tab-hoarding". However, what is clear is the fact that "tab-hoarding" is a very normal behavior, especially in environments requiring people to regularly use the internet for multiple purposes.
My computer's so slow. Maybe I should stop tab-hoarding.

Tab-hoarding is normal. Everyone does it.

Trim Tabs Backwards

When a boat can't get out of the hole because someone left the plug in the dock box.
Bobby's boat must have the trim tabs backwards, he can't get it up. Better go check his dock box.

Tab Monster

A web browser window with more tabs open than any human could reasonably keep track of. Typically the result of a research paper you're writing, or a Wikipedia-Odyssey. A plague to your CPU and mental health.
I knew this essay was a mess when I realized I had created a tab monster on my computer. I could barely keep them all straight, and I couldn't wait to hit that juicy, juicy X in the corner of my screen when I was done.
