Question about Sass variables

Looking through the Foundation documentation, I see that some of their variables have a second value called !default. What is the purpose of this second value, and what does it do?

$topbar-bg-color: $oil !default;
$topbar-bg: $topbar-bg-color !default;

If before this code someone has defined those variables before it won't change them...

see the official reference for more information :) http://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#variable_defaults_
