Dear Mumsnet, your acronym list has an inaccuracy on it.

I just clicked on it accidently, having never needed it before and noticed that you say "bump" is not an acronym.

it is. it stands for "bring up my post"

believe it is a backronym - ie the phrase made up to fit the initials

hmm - so are we wrong or right?

I have to say you are wrong Justine. I have just Googled "Acroynms" and put BUMP in and it came up with "Bring up my post".

We live and learn.

It is probably a very modern acronym though to be fair and only probably because of forum etiquette.

It's no good trying to be nice about it.

acronym list is no longer inaccurate in the bump department
