I think people wanted to use that word and just gave it another meaning afterwards, actually.
But that meaning has definitely been floating around for like a decade!

So that's what bump means! I know why people do it but that adds so much more meaning to the word than I thought. The more you know!

it's literally just a verb used in a slang fashion, not an acronym

and some person trying to be cheeky doesn't make it one

It's a way to get your thread to the top. I recommend you read the forum rules before bumping though, there is a limit to how often you can do it. https://www.belltreeforums.com/threads/the-bell-tree-rules-and-guidelines.94559/
