What is "Slacking"?

I thought that I was pretty knowledgeable when it comes to bread baking, but I have recently heard the term "slacking" in regards to the process of baking. Is that another name for one of the steps in the process, or something different? Given the meaning, I would think it could refer to fermentation, bench rest, or maybe proofing, but wasn't sure. Thanks!
