i picked up that term back in school marching band. i thought it referred to a way of ending a song where, after a seeming finale, there's a brief pause and then one fortissimo chord the entire band blasts out to actually end the song. like "you thought we were done? bam! we stung you!"
(of course just now when i was trying to find a link for it, it looks like i was mistaken all these years. the closest i could find was under

either way, i'd still recommend some sort of polished ending for your piece.
