I have found myself using various car related forums on the internet recently and I'm trying to get my head around some of the language.
What does BUMP mean?
What does Bttt mean?

[THECORBYLOON]

"BUMP" is "Bring Up My Post" and "bttt" is "bump to the top." A lot of sites show the most recently answered thread as the top one and some folk will post anything in a thread or BUMP just to bring it to the top.

[VS Prasad]

To bump a thread on an Internet forum is to post a reply to it purely in order to raise the thread's profile. This will typically return it to the top of the list of active threads. BUMP is sometimes used as a backronym for "Bring Up My Post/Post count" or as a recursive acronym "Bump Up My Post".

Thread bumping is commonly considered a breach of netiquette and some moderated forums forbid it. Users may get around that by posting what is ostensibly a genuine reply. Sometimes this will mockingly contain the word "bump" in it, such as "Wandering the forum, he bumps into this thread...", or be a trivial question or response such as "Anyone?".
