Where it comes from

Ep. 102 adds 'quump' as the YouTube-specific portmanteau.

How the hosts use it

The hosts say it as a congratulation when a clip, movie or video they mentioned gets a spike ('bro, you got that Quaid bump... you're welcome, Lorne'). It is also used for KPop Demon Hunters and Football Town. In Ep. 107 Andy says 'quump bump' and gets corrected that it is redundant (a 'quade bump bump').
