I tend to use the term to undermine the importance of my own feedback and to encourage action. E.g. when someone's agonizing over a choice: "I'd prefer X, but I think this is a bikeshed issue - just pick something and roll with it."
This tends to include things which boil down to personal preference (coding standard whitespacing arguments, emacs vs vim, etc.), naming things (which can easily be renamed later with refactoring tools in static languages), and other minor self-contained decisions which can be easily changed at a later date.
