What about "bump"?
I see that on some threads and think maybe it means "I agree" or a way of saying "thank you"?

No, it has to do with the placement of threads in the index. Threads are sorted by those with the most recent posts appearing first. When a noteworthy thread sinks low in the list due to inactivity and someone want to bring it to the top, they post to it so as to "bump" it to the top. All that "bump" means is that the post was made to bring the thread back to the top of the forum.

Secret second life.

This usually happens when spouses are living independent lifestyles: going out without each other to gyms, bars and clubs; participating in hobbies without the spouse, but with the opposite sex - see Sue in the book Surviving an Affair.

However, SSLs can be fostered at home, right under the spouse's nose. Where there is an absence of technical (online and telecommunications) transparency, it is easy to conduct a SSL in the comfort of the home.

When a spouse travels overnight for work, a SSL is almost inevitable, by one or other spouse. The spouse that travels can stay in hotel rooms with a colleague, or the stay-at-home spouse can spend time with an affair partner.
