gotacha. i've only ever heard them called ternaries. maybe i'm old. maybe i'm too young. definitely one of the two

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
