            It specifically refers to this shorthand ?: that works like this:

            $value = $thing_that_could_be_truthy ?: 'fallback value';
            
            # same as
            
            $value = $thing_that_could_be_truthy ? $thing_that_could_be_truthy : 'fallback value';
            

            The condition is also the value if it is truthy
