Text messaging etiquette: modern love

I don't know how it's crossed into mainstream conversations-- It's so weird to be walking around a school and overhearing kids using phrases like brb un-ironically.
This video highlights a more modern trend that's developed in txt-messaging usage -- the texting hookup. Just watch the video to understand this modern mating ritual:
