sorry buts what the bubble

have seen it said lots of times and can't get it?

One position out of the money. If a tournament pays 27 places then the guy who busted out 28 is said to have gone out on the bubble.

You might also hear the phrase "bubble play" or "folding on the bubble", referring to tight play from people desperate to make it to the money:
