That, as it happens, is a clever backronym.
It can also stand for 'bump up my post', which is a recursive backronym.
Backronym?
I'm disappointed. LOL JK XD
But you should have looked there.

Re: Bump: what's it mean?
A similar thing out there is 'necroposting': the process of bumping an old, often outdated thread with no reason.
I fall: It's a tragedy. You fall: It's comedy.
Hmph enjoy your fall - I get a lovely spring... without pans of new leaves.
