Hey, I don't want to sound dumb but what do "ping" and "Bump" mean?

By putting a person's screen name in the "To:" box a post will show up in their "pings" or "New posts to you" list. This calls an individual or member of a ping list to a thread.
Anytime a thread receives a new post it is "bumped" to the top of the chronological list of posts. This tends to keep a thread active and exposes it to more FReepers.
