I believe I've heard "Climb Climb" once but it was muffled. It certainly struck me at the time as that sort of electronic voice (male) and alarm sound you hear in movies/tv. It was disconcerting to say the least. Really only had time to think I realised what I heard, inhale sharply in the "oh crap" sort of manner, before the plane landed very hard in TPA.
It seemed like a normal descent/landing until that point, we had just cleared the fences/barriers/etc.. then the alarm, then a few seconds of silence and suddenly everything in the cabin bouncing as touched down very hard.
I suppose it could have been a different alarm, but it sounded like "Climb Climb" at the time.

If you heard Stall, Stall and a rattling noise that would have been the stick shaker and the stall warning...scary =) Happens once in a while when they spool up way too early and land hard because the plane starts to sink.

That wasn't TCAS. TCAS RA's are inhibited below 900' on landing. It was probably the ground-proximity warning system (GPWS) and the alert you heard was likely, "Sink Rate" or, "Glideslope". It's not unusual to get one of those from momentarily exceeding the programmed stabilized approach criteria. Can also be caused by flying over rapidly rising terrain on short final or ground vehicles interfering with the glideslope signal on days with good visibility.
