Tarb is "brat" spelled backwards. It is a politically correct way to describe someone, mostly a child, who is behaving like a brat, but you don't want them to know what they are being called, or to not cause them mental harm, or to speak openly in front of children without them knowing you're being derogatory.
Sally, why are you being a tarb?

Often used in the Linux community, (sometimes apple but who cares about dem apples) a TarBomb is a set of files compressed into a single archive (much like a .zip on windoez) this file, when decompressed either contains file locations that cause the file to essentially projectile vomit, explode, and rape all your files while throwing itself all over your computer taking up redonkulus amounts of space and whoring all your folders, and often overwriting many of your documents.
tarbomb in action:
Billy: "Man, I found this awesome software last night!"

Joe: "Really? can you send me it?"

Billy: "Sure man, here you go! its only 30mb =]]]"

Joe: "Wow thanks! this will make my life so much easier."

----THE NEXT DAY----

Billy: "How'd it go? =D"

Joe: "You douche bag! when i unpacked it my processor melted, my hard drive is full, all my stuff for work and all my pictures and music were deleted, im going to ****** kill you!"

Billy: "Hah! cool story bro, tar-bombed idiot. =DD"

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
