Lifting refers to lifting your foot of the gas pedal - letting of the gas - suddenly. In any car, this will tend to shift the weight toward the front, and lighten the weight on the rear tires, promoting over-steer if the car is cornering hard. In a mid engined car like the Elise, a sudden lift, while on the edge of adhesion when cornering, often leads to snap over-steer - spinning the car.
You have to be pushing it pretty hard, but a sudden lift will have drastic results. Not something you usually have to worry about, but something that you should be aware of and keep in mind.
