I usually see this term used in the classifieds more than anywhere else.... As touched on earlier, this term is used to get the thead back to the top of the forum list.... As time goes on and no one respondes the thread it will eventually end up at the bottom of the page.... So when the thread starter wants it to the top of the page again (and you must type something) the word bump is used....

Usually done when there has not been any recent responses and the poster still wants to hear some replies or answer to a question.
EDIT: Sorry HOH...didn't see your post with explanation.
