Ramblings

1:00 AM |

...to long to be random thoughts; to short to be anything else

Let's explore the abbreviation brb. This stands for Be Right Back. To break this down:

Be:

1. To exist in actuality

2.
a. To occupy a specified position
b. To remain in a certain state or situation undisturbed, untouched, or unmolested
3. To take place; occur
4. To go or come


Right:
5. Immediately
10. Used as an intensive

Back:
7. In reply or return.

Thus should you depart not to return for some obscure amount of time, this phrase/abbreviation does not apply. User should find an alternate term to indicated more appropriately the approximate return time.
