brb

Short for brb, which some people use literally, and are gone anywhere from 3 seconds to 5 minutes. Some people, however, use it much more loosely, and will be gone for hours on end, and usually come back making a truly shitty excuse for why they were gone so long. Used mainly in IM conversations.

1. Proper usage
Person #1: LOL

brb

What you type into an IM window when you don't want to talk to that person anymore. After typing, you simply don't talk to them anymore. Thus you are spared from their company and they are not offended.

brb

Stands for "be right back". Used in IMing. Some people actually do come right back after saying brb. Most people don't come back after saying brb. Brb is used for an excuse (some of the time) so that the other will stop talking to them, but they won't have to go offline. Usually responded to by "kk" which means "kay, kool"
