WHAT does BUMP mean?

<p>i'm confused... why do people write "bump" in threads?</p>

<p>Physical contact is good.
But seriously, it means bring up my post.</p>

<p>yep Bring Up My Post.</p>

<p>Basically when you really want to be heard, and your post noticed, you "bump" it, and it brings it up to to top of the forums list :)</p>

<p>I thought I was the only person who didn't know this... I thought it would be shameful to ask. Thanks Jerseygirl :)</p>

<p>wow
I thought it meant to bump up a thread in the thread list - which kinda makes sense</p>

<p>lol!.. I asked the same question two months ago.. ahh I thought it was an american expression..</p>

<p>Bump________</p>

<br>

<p>You are correct. The "bring up my post" acronym was added after the fact.</p>
