What does bump mean?

Excuse my ignorance. I have been reading WSO for a while, contribute when I can, but have never figured out what it means when people write bump. It usually relates to stupid questions so I'll expect a few people to write bump in response to this, but what is it from and what does it mean? Thanks guys.

 

Bump basically means you are "bumping" a thread back to the top. You do this so more people will see it and hopefully comment/answer your question.

You're born, you take shit. You get out in the world, you take more shit. You climb a little higher, you take less shit. Till one day you're up in the rarefied atmosphere and you've forgotten what shit even looks like. Welcome to the layer cake, son.
 

You are bumping the thread back to the top of the active forum topics located on the right side of the screen.

"Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, for knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA."
 

Dang, that actually stands for something?!? I've used "bump" for years and never even knew that, lol. Another example of WSO making me smarter, everyday.

Regards
