Bump = Used to move a thread tot he top of the 1st page of the forum, so people can see i, bump can be replaced with "To the Top" though most people just use "bump"
DP = Double Post, when you post more than once, you delete the 2nd, or mroe, posts, if they can not be deleated, then you edit them to say DP
Tag = Places a thread in your "My threads" list for easy access
I suggest you read some of the stickies on Nationstates and International incidents, those may help you with NS lingo

All I know is "bump", which is bumping the thread onto the first page of the list of threads. Because the list of threads is in reverse chronological order, the most recent post is the first on the list, people type a random word in the post they'd like others to view. Apparently "bump" was the word of choice.
Good luck on finding out the rest of the terms! Perhaps the rest serve the same purpose...

In fact, bump was used to mean 'Bring Up My Post'
