        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
