Often employed by females when talking to others (usually males) online, when they no longer wish to speak with that person but don't want to actually tell them.
They type "brb" as if to leave the chat momentarily, but never reply again, and quite often, "sign off" by blocking the person they are speaking with.

Guy 1: I was talking to this girl I met online before, she said she would brb but signed off and never returned.
Guy 2: She used the BRB trick on you
Guy 1: The what?
Guy 2: She didn't want to speak with you anymore but instead of telling you that, she wrote "brb" and blocked you.

A Rachel BRB (be right back) is when one person says BRB on instant messager with the intention of signing off and returning at a much later time. It should be substituted with a BBL (be back later).
Rachel: BRB!
Bob: Okay.
Rachel: Signing off 5:30pm.
Rachel: Signing on 10:00pm.
Rachel: I'm back
Bob: Away Message Response: Went to bed.
Hence, A Rachel BRB, and not a typical BRB.
Bob: Okay.
Rachel: Signing off 5:30pm.

Be right back real quick. By using this, you swear to god that the time will be under ten minutes, and will do everything in your power to return before that. Failing to follow this will cause the value of Brb Rq to drop, and it could mean any time up to an hour. And when your friend vanishes for an hour after saying ten minutes, you no longer trust Brb Rq. Don't be that friend.
Drake: Brb Rq, mom needs help with moving something
Josh: K Fam
Drake: *Returns 10 minutes later*
Josh: Oh hey Josh, thanks for returning in a reasonable time.
Josh: K Fam
Drake: *Returns 10 minutes later*
Josh: Oh hey Josh, thanks for returning in a reasonable time.
