What does flat area mean?

[Chengbin]

I know this is an incredibly noob question, but when we talk about AQ and psy-rd, the term "flat area" is brought up. What does that term exactly mean?

BTW can we have a sticky to a guide of all the video vocabularies we use on this forum? It will be very helpful to noobs.

A flat area is what exists in the dark area between the white keys on a piano keyboard.
