You mean In-Universe or Inverted Trope?
Basically it's when a trope which covers how the audience responds to events in the show is applied to characters within the show. For example, if the audience finds something disgusting it's Squick. In-Universe Squick is if a character finds something disgusting.
It can also be used as a general phrase for anything which exists within the fiction of the show. So you could say that "in-universe" Bob's actor is Bob. If Bob's actor has to wear an eyepatch and that's written in to Bob's character then the reason Bob wears it would be the in-universe explaination. If Bob's actor is famous then they might avoid the Celebrity Paradox by saying he doesn't exist in-universe; Bob does.

Primarily, a audience-reaction trope is used by the storyteller in the story. Say for instance a character stops then turns to the audience and invokes Moff’s Law.
Goal: Clear, Concise and Witty
Anyways I was, and still am trying to figure out if the character Jake from Adventure Time corpsing when he was pretending to be a corpse is an In-Universe example.
