Hi, just wanted to ask what "bump" meant in reply to a post?
Many thanks.
 
It means someone is bumping the thread back to the first page.

Hi, thanks, but I have noticed that a person who has started a thread and has maybe 6 replies. All of these are bumps of some sort, and all posted by that person. Is this strange????????
 
It just means that person doesn't understand no one wants to post in that thread.
 
It also used to be a popular dance move back in the day. But I'm guessing that most of the funkless square britches here probably don't know 'bout it. ;)

Bump (dance)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The bump was a primarily 1970s fad dance introduced by Johnny Spruce in which the main move is to lightly "bump" hips on every other beat of the music. As the dance (and the evening) progressed, the bumping could become more intimate, bumping hip to backside, low bending, etc. There were several songs that were inspired by the bump, such as "The Bump" by Kenny and "Lady Bump" by Penny McLean, but the song that is most remembered[who?] is "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)" by George Clinton and Parliament, which was released in 1976. The lyric in the song is "we want the funk", but has been mistaken for "we want the bump". In the UK, possibly the most popular and evocative song[dubious – discuss] used for this dance was "Nutbush City Limits" by "Ike & Tina Turner".
