I agree, it is a silly term, but often it means that the piano design 
incorporates some grand piano features such as a laminated bent rim, capo 
bar for treble string terminations, etc.

The fourth pedal is for the thingeebajingle (the metal buttons on a 
mute-like rail that drops down between the hammers and strings).
