: a rapid rhythmic rapping
Whoa - who knew? You might be a little confused. The word you are thinking of has its roots in Tahitian. But this one comes to us from the great and powerful Dutch. From the Dutch word taptoe we get tattoo - pertaining to percussion, often associated with the military, and also the word taps - the final bugle call at night.
Mom, rest assured that my reasons for putting up this word today are purely to pay homage to our incredible heritage. I don't have any desire at the moment to get any ink done.
That's all. Just a fun fact to break from all the heavy soul-cleansing of late.
Goede dag, vrienden!
