Not to be confused with taphophilia, tabophilia is a condition in which an Internet user becomes obsessed with browser tabs. A tabophile may have 10+ tabs open at any one time with the conviction that they may have the need to save those tabs for later. Another symptom is saving tabs at the end of each browsing session and letting them carry over to the next session. This allows the number of tabs to accumulate quite quickly. Sufferers of this condition are usually net addicts.
-"Why do you have 93 tabs open?"

-"Holy crap, you have tabophilia, don't you?!"
-"Yeah, sorry I meant to tell you."

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”
Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
