A quick net-search on Irish fiddling gives several meaning for the word "cut". The book by Miles Krassen, "O'Neill's music of Ireland New & Revisited" has a section "Ornamentation in Irish music", which does not use the term, but just describes the ornaments in traditional terms. For example, a bowed triplet is written with traditional bowing signs, and it can often be interchangeable with a roll. The bowed triplet can also be performed with the third note different from the two first.
