> stocatto

Staccato, which is Italian for "detached, separated".

When I see simple Italian words used as technical terms in music or art, I think "oh, this must be what English speakers feel when they work in tech - a lot of common words becoming specific concepts in that particular field".

Thanks for the correction, I felt I hadn't got the word quite right.

Also, he is dangerously close to "stocazzo", which is similar to a very offensive way to say "fuck no!".
