funny, but when I first heard that term on tv, it was usually said when guys were pushing hard while seated on an uphill section. I always thought it meant the rear of the seat and the rivets there, because when I push hard going uphill seated, I push back into the rear of the saddle and so my bum is going more onto the rear rivets....
thats how I understood it.
