Bbiaw Edit Meaning

1.

"Be back in a while"

Although brb means 0 - 15 min, and bbs means 15 - 30 min, and bbl means more than an hour, we lack a term for the 30 to 60 minute range. So, bbiaw is designated for that 30 to 60 minute range, in between bbs and bbl.

In an IM conversation, one would say "bbiaw", and then return between thirty and sixty minutes later.

See brb, bbs, bbl, afk, bak
