What is BUMP??

[slowNsteady]

HI,
I know I'm going to catch flak on this, but I see people responding to posts with the word 'bump'.
What are you people talking about? Would one kind person please explain this to me? After that, the rest can go ahead and laugh. I'm forum challenged, but learning!

Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for the info. I had no idea. I knew there would be some humor involved, but thanks for clearing that up.
