It's sad that I get that and find it amusing
Pardon my ignorance but what does it mean?

Mmm, explain?
If you're not a unix nerd or don't understand regexps and the like you won't get it
It's a play on "to be or not to be". bb | (or) not bb (b occurring twice)
It's a regular expression, Regexes are a very very powerful pattern matching system used frequently in various forms in software development on both windows and *nix, or in general administration on *nix.
bb = to be (Letter Bx 2)
| = or
[^b] = not b
{2} = two of the previous
2 b or not 2 b
bb = to be (Letter Bx 2)
| = or
[^b] = not b
{2} = two of the previous
2 b or not 2 b
