I get the impression it is somehow similar to bracketing your shots…but not sure.

You’re right. You just shoot over and under until you get the result that you are looking for by checking the LCD monitor instead of taking a meaningful meter reading or setting anything the right way.
It means that you after you take the shot you look at the playback of the shot to see if you got the results you wanted. That is chimping and some consider it cheating.
Watch this video. It will explain (lol)
