a tab is a person who you fancy, but in a cool way. A tab is not a crush or a love interest, just someone you'd hypothetically get involved with and could fall for hypothetically. A person may have one up to googleplex tabs. More often than not, '' tabs'' usually open up when a person is intoxicated. A synonym for a tab could possibly be ''pre-crush''.

A person playing a videogame or any sort of game online while at the same time drinking loads of RedBull and eating fastfood. It could also be used as a verb: "to tab". You could either be a tab or tab by yourself or with others, even though it is not a very social event.
Person 1: Evan is not going out tonight, he'd rather sit alone at home playing Halo and drink Red Bull.
Person 2: Ah, seriously? What a tab!

The keyboard button that allows one to cycle through all buttons on the computer without using the mouse.
I used the 'tab' key to move from the 'definition and background' section to the 'example' of the word I am currently defining; I didn't even have to move my hand(s) off of the keyboard to touch the mouse!
