Hi,
The bike mechanic at the LBS I go to called it a half shift. I have to do it all the time on my Specialize Sequoia.. usually when I'm heading up a hill and I've shifted to the biggest gear (rear) and am on the middle flywheel (front). If I don't, I get a big chain rub, too. I think Carback described the technique well...maybe the LBS can help you out, too.
