I was wandering when I saw some yellow belts do some technique. They said that the technique was Iriminage but it looked nothing like Iriminage to me.

That's normal. When I wander around the mat what the yellow belts are doing doesn't normally look like what they're meant to be doing either
In Ki Society dojos there's a quite common form of iriminage similar to the
ushiro kiri otoshi that Carsten described - although they'd probably call it something like
katate kosadori ushiro irimi kokyunage rather than
iriminage.
The
iriminage [lit: Entering Throw] name comes from the entering movement of the body to take the balance and make the throw, a 'clothesline' movement isn't needed. Ironically this 'taking the balance with the body' part is often the most neglected.
