Bump = Bring Up My Post

Bump explained
When a post is made, it starts at the top of the list within its category. After that, it is not listed by date, but by activity. If a person's post gets no replies, it goes lower on the list with each new post, or with each response to an old post. The posts that get replies go back to the top of the list with each reply. So if someone is selling something, they want their post at or near the top of the list to allow as many people as possible to see their listing. To "bump" the item is to make a reply (usually with no intention of buying) so that the listing returns to the top of the first page. Some items get bumped many times until they sell or the seller gives up. Other items are complaints from pissed off people and they keep bumping them up so more people will read them. If a thread gets no reply, it very quickly falls pages down within the category and becomes forgotten. I hope this helps clear things for you.

Yes...I appreciate your help...thanks!
It means to take a little hit of something. Usually nasal.
Don't let these other folks steer you wrong. When people type 'bump', its breakfast on a mirror.
