I always thought the BBQ in "OMGWTFBBQ" actually stood for, you know, "bar-b-que". I figured it was just something people say that's nonsensical, since when you see it [now-a-days] it's usually in a place where a nonsensical response is warranted. But, apparently, the "bbq" stands for "be back quick".

Man, this really changes things.
 
It can stand for barbeque, but can also stand for be back quick or better be quick, which were used a lot more in online chat and games than barbeque ever was. The only person who would know for sure is the person who first used it, and unfortunately nobody knows who that is for sure, though I think a writer at something awful has been given credit for it.
