scat
Scat primarily refers to animal dung or feces found in the wild, often studied by naturalists to track and analyze wildlife. In a musical context, scat refers to a jazz singing style that uses improvised, nonsensical syllables instead of words. So, the specific definition depends on the context in which it is used.
