"The Bumps", a torment common in countries such as the U.K., Ireland, and the U.S.,[2][3] involves the friends and family of the person whose birthday it is taking him or her by the arms and legs, and "bumping" him/her up into the air and down onto the floor.[2][4] The number of "bumps" given equals the age of the person in years plus one "for luck".[2][4] Usually "the Bumps" are administered only to children, in part because as people grow up they become too heavy for the process.[2]"
