Terminologically-Impaired
Me
Posted on 12/31/2001 9:18:01 AM PST by thomas_1963
I've only been using Free Republic for a month or two, and I still don't know what everybody is talking about.
Can someone help me with the message board lingo? Like what do "BUMP" and "cheese" mean? What other words should I use or at least be aware of?
Thanks

Bump means to bump the topic back up toward the surface, rather than having it sink to the bottom of the pile. Like keeping a balloon aloft. Cheese has something to do with "would you like some cheese with your whine?" ( said to or about someone who is whining. Someone else may explain it better. BTW, welcome.

I know the feeling - a BUMP is a post that just acknowledges YOUR post and "bumps" you to the top. "CHEESE" is, well, indefinable, like love or FreeRepublic. No one really knows... and the ones who know aren't talking. If you ask about cheese, you must ask about moose or base to get the full zen of cheese. All your base are belong to cheese!
BUMP for CHEESE...
