Default Newbie question for the forum?

All so often, more so on the for sale forum I see members reply with "Bump".

What the heck does "Bump" mean???? Even "Bump" beginning a sentence?

Thanks for the education!

They are bumping their thread back to the first page of posts so more people read it.

It is the way to get a stale thread posted to the top again. You are 'bump'ing the thread by submitting a reply. Someone could have easily typed anything and would get the same result. Hope this helps...

OP = Original Poster
Bump = Moves the thread back into the view of forum readers

I finally did ask this same question but before I did I asked my teenage son as he knows everything about the 'Web', and after a moment of thought he said, Dad, it has something to do with sex.
