Unfortunately, "salient" does not mean anything similar to "fancy", which invalidates the original grandparent's statement (unless you can cite something else).

As I didn't knew the word, I gave it to DeepL for translation and in German it translates to words which would be used for extraordinary and over-the-top things (herausragend, hervorragend, hervorstechend). If someone would have used these, I'd have understood it as a call to show my best code.
