A shortened version of the term 'Serious Business'. When something is said to be of a really serious nature but often with a partically sarcastic and humourous tone put to it. This term was made famous on the web with the photo of a smug grinning man stood in front of a PC moniter with the caption, 'Internet - Serious business' written on it. Many different hybrids have spawned from this over time.
'The internet is serbus'.
'This office is seriously serbus'.
'Hey check out this guy on the internet, he's so serbus'.
'That's proper serbus!!'
'It's time to get serbus!'

"She's so fucking serbus, LOL".
