Here's why we call it flat. Think of a graphic EQ, which has sliders for each 
frequency range. If we leave them all at their middle positions, the panel 
looks like a flat line along the surface of the sliders. That's flat. If you 
start gradually boosting or cutting a range of sliders, it literally forms a 
curve. If you drastically cut a few, but not others around it, it's called a 
notch, which visually looks like a notch taken out of that flat line we had 
before.
