catch 

A common term in independent film referring to cutting in a manner that is so visually jarring that audiences will potentially be taken aback or taken "out of the experience". You will "catch" them.

A visual edit causing viewers to realise they are indeed watching a film. Your audience is free falling through the fantasy, you don't want to "catch" them because then they will come out of it.

Some french foreign films from the mid 1900's, the time-jumps in "momento"

Many scenes that cut to new environments with different lighting or have an outgoing action that is not met with a match cut.

"Man that last scene really caught me, kind of ruined it"

"We don't want to catch our viewers, smooth that out"

catch 

catch- used when confronted by a scary object, mob, gang, or something you don't want to do is about to happen, it CAN mean goodbye, but like this, you don't actually go anywhere, you just remain standing or sitting, sometimes said or pronounced, 'cyatch'.
It can also be said just before it would seem you will get hit by a car.

(Zac is standing in the middle of the road)
(a car comes flying around the corner)
Zac: Catch
(car turns away from Zac)

Toby: Yo Zac, see that gang of Crips over there?
Zac: yeah man, catch! (Zac remains walking with Toby and never stopped walking)
