BBML

What does BBML stand for?

Be back much later

If you’re in the middle of an online chat and someone sends you BBML, they’re letting you know they’ll “be back much later.” This typically happens when the person you’re chatting with needs to step away from their computer for an extended period.

When you get a BBML message, it could be a good time for you to take a break as well. Maybe go outside and enjoy some fresh air. If you both happen to be back online later, you can pick up your chat where you left off.

Example for using ‘BBML’ in a conversation

Hey, are you free to chat?

Hey! Yeah, I’m here. What’s up?

Not much, just wanted to catch up. How’s your day going?

Pretty good, thanks! Just taking a break from work. How about you?

I’m doing fine too. Just finished my assignments. Need a breather now.

Nice! Well, I have to go AFK for a while. BBML!

No problem! Take your time. I’ll be around. Chat later!
