it stands for 'bring up my post'
it's basically to bring a thread up to the top of the first page of a part of the forums so people are more likely to see it
though i'm not sure why it's called 'bring up my post' when we're actually bringing up threads

pretty sure bring up my post is a backronym
and bump was literally short for "bump my thread up to the top"
