Actually, in car terms it's the other way around. The rear sliding towards the outside of the corner and the front continuing on the path that they were pointed until the car spins. Regardless, I'm a bit confused by the term as well when attributed to a bicycle. Perhaps he just meant that the steering response was quicker.
