No, not that. It's when you're riding around on a motorcycle, and at every turn the tires feel uncertain, like maybe they'll just start sliding for the heck of it.
I noticed it on the Ninja 250 a few weeks ago, roughly coincident with two events: adjusting the rear shock, and suddenly riding a bicycle a lot more. So, I'm not actually sure of the cause, but I'm guessing it's the shock.
I just got in from adjusting it to have more preload (making the spring a bit stiffer). It's a small adjustment, just one turn of the ring (my previous adjustment was to loosen the preload by two turns, since the ride was too harsh). Hopefully it'll be a good compromise between harsh ride and vague tires. If necessary, I'll go right back to the harsh ride I had before, it was vastly preferrable to feeling as if the tires might slide at any moment.
