Everywhere you go you see people bumping threads! There are even those who make contests, and thread just for bumping! Why was it that the bump took off, leaving all the other fun words like 'poke' in the dust?

But Bump is so overused it may be an acronym, but seriously there is nothing wrong with a good old fashioned poke!

From egg and sperm 'neath sticky sheet,
To ash and bone or maggot meat,
The way looks neither pleasant or too long
So have you stopped to wonder whether
If when weighted against a feather,
All your deeds appear so big and strong?

Bump is used only because it is an acronym for -- as stated before -- Bring Up My Post.
What does Poke stand for?
Pee On Kind Ewoks?
Pencils Only Kill Elephants?
