How to use bump in a sentence?

  1. Stewart Verdery:

    If [ Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ] blasts you on Twitter, or if Warren talks about an acquisition as dangerous, that's going to put up a speed bump, even if the regulators might approve it, you've got antitrust by tweet as an important factor.

  2. Golfer Blair O'Neal:

    It's funny because everyone thinks' Oh, that baby bump, it's going to help you hit the ball farther.' No, no, no. That's not how it works guys. It's the opposite.

  3. Jordan Mah:

    I think when they went to get medical attention for the bump initially, the bite kind of slipped their mind because they didn’t see it as a potential exposure, because it just healed. And it was only later on during the course of treatment, as it got worse, that it kind of jogged their memory and they brought it to the doctor’s attention.

  4. Jeffrey Jacobs:

    I think she's going to make a great recovery, a month from now this is going to be a little bump in the road.

  5. Shanwayne Stephens:

    We had to come up with our own ways of replicating the sort of pushing we need to do. So that's why we thought: why not go out and push the car? we do get some funny looks. We've had people run over, thinking the car's broken down, trying to help us bump-start the car. When we tell them we're the Jamaica bobsleigh team, the direction is totally different, and they're very excited.
