"Bump" a lot in the posts. What does that mean? And why would someone use it?

It means that they're bumping the thread up to the top again by posting in it...trying to get more responses in it, or at least giving more people a chance to see it. hug

We used to bumps as kids, when it was a person's birthday.

Other kids would grab birthday kid arms and legs and count to the age they were.

Then they would drop us on our heads. Explains alot about me.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I see! I wished I'd a bumped one in particular back a ways then. I've been looking for it for days and can't find it, don't remember who started it.

And thanks for the peanut gallery chuckles too! No telling what I'll believe, so you gotta watch out. giggle

In reading between the lines.... it says about you that you were smart and while they were dropping you on your head wishing you Happy B-day, you were wearing your helmet!!!
