      Be right back. No longer taken literally, people just say it when they are going to be gone for any amount of time, whether it be 20 seconds or 20 minutes.

        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.

                      The [short term] for Be Right Back which usually means that people have told their friends [via text] or internet based [social services] that they have gone somewhere for a brief period of time which usually stand for the time of up to half an hour unless theyve said that it would be longer. Although in some cases, the term of BRB can also mean that they have gone for more than 6 hours without any hint of what they are doing, which usually suggests that they are having a hard time trying to masturbate properly.
