The Quick Answer

Better Be Going

BBG is most commonly used with the meaning "Better Be Going" to end a text chat. The use of BBG indicates that the sender has other things to do and doesn't have time for further chat.

Beautiful Baby Girl

In this context BBG is not typically used to refer to an actual female infant, but more (by men) in admiration of a particularly attractive girl or woman or, (by women or girls) in appreciation of a female friend. Men should take special care when using BBG as, in many contexts, its use could be seen as condescending or sexist.
