The usual term is "singing behind the beat", but it's the same thing. It means delaying a few milliseconds so that you sing the note slightly after the beat. If you are practicing with a metronome, you would be lagging behind the click. This is not always bad--it's a technique that is very commonly used by jazz singers--but it just sounds wrong for other styles (or if you're singing in a chorus).
