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.

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’
