What does "bump" mean?

I have read several threads where the moderator has simply put the word "bump" on a reply. What does this mean?

Hi Marie, I have done that on one Forum to bring threads that had been buried due to a bunch of threads posted by one person that hid others. Any post on a thread such as "Bump" will take that thread to the top of the order. I had locked down some threads and wanted to move them to the second page so posters would again work off the top page. Thanks for the question in Jesus' name.
