I assume it is an English idiom because I see nothing unusual about it.
To me it means you are really great because you are reliable, helpful,
and solid.
What you need to think of here is a house made of brick. The brick is
tough, and supports the house....
Sorry for continuing this off topic thread....
There is a similar sounding word which is a lot ruder, but it doesn't have
a b in it.
