It means they are bumping their post to the top. You know how questions get buried? By posting "bump" under a thread you're basically trying to get attention to your post by bumping it up to the top.

Everyone should post an abbreviation they use and say what it means :) I get confused with a lot of them too but can't remember any at the moment (pregnancy brain)
