      lol -your English is so good, I often forget that you might not be familiar with American idioms :p
      A bumper crop means there are a whole lot - more than usual. To tell the truth - though I know the meaning I actually had to look up the origins of the phrase.
      I found this - The original bumper was a large cup, filled to the brim with wine, and used for toasting. Why it is called a bumper is a bit uncertain, but could be from the idea of knocking such glasses together during a toast.       Posted 7 years ago

        I'm going to look so smart the next time I find a context to use this in. Posted 7 years ago
