      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
