In fact, she said she does pullups on the Smith machine, and I had to ask "what's a Smith machine?" Turns out it was your inverted rows she does :-)
There are other names for them as well. Fat man pullups and I've seen reverse pushup. I like inverted rows. I used to use the Smith for both pushups and inverted rows for my clients. It is great for these because you can start from almost standing up and progress to completely horizontal.
