Yes - basically it's a fancy word for "smashed all to Heck".
As in "ball peen" hammer - you use the rounded side of the hammer to fold enough material over the side of the post/stem such that it holds the other part in place.
Almost like taking that post and smashing a head onto it, turning it into a sort of free form rivet.
You can disregard all this, though: it didn't realize the head was already formed and that your were pressing the stem into an existing hole.
