Bumping is using a key cut specifically to fit into any keyway of its type, so that you can hit it with a rubber mallet and jiggle the pins enough to open the lock.
It’s one step above “just hit it really hard and see if it opens” in terms of difficulty. Which works on an absolutely absurd number of consumer-grade locks.
