the term ‘brb’ often comes from the skinny legend ruth where she emphasises she will ‘be right back’ but then proceeds to turn up 3 or more hours later. the phrase brb implies that they won’t be long (around 2 minutes or so) however, this is ironic and contradicts this thought as this is not the case with ruth.
ugh i’ll brb guys.

*3 hours later

HI IM BACK

A abbreviation I’d be right back, which is pointless as they both have the same syllables in them.
Steve ‘I will brb’

Deric ‘why not say be right back, they have the same syllables?’

Steve ‘I’m not sure, it might be because I don’t understand basic grammar’

This term is commonly misunderstood as "Be Right Back" where one individual in an online conversation has to leave for a certain amount of time during a good conversation.

This is actually wrong though, it has a very firm meaning of "Bringing Ryne Beer" and often times is heard daily.
Person #1: "So whats up?"
Person #2: "Hold on, BRB"
Person #1: "Isn't that his 4th beer today?"
Person #2: "Yes - hold on, you know he gets cranky if I don't bring it right away"
