Pretending to work. Covertly engaging in fun activities instead of work, but still appearing as a motivated employee.

Three reasons for the origin of this word:

2) Surfing the internet is a common activity undertaken instead of working
3) Surfer culture is traditionally laid back and does not value working

keep the apartment you are living in after. Quit serfing, dude”

Surfing the internet while sitting on the toilet. 24 inch Bar stools work great for a nice platform.
Throne surfing has been a guilty pleasure of mine for quite some time. There's nothing quite like doing your business while you're doing your business.
