2799. An orthographical oops

Writing an email while watching The Masters golf tournament, I misspelled 'emperor' as emporer.  The recipient pointed out my flub and I wrote back, blaming it on my trying to simultaneously type and follow the golf.  She's from Atlantic City and replied with this syllogism:

Guys can’t multi-Tasso.
Phil is a guy.
Therefore Phil can’t multi-task.
(I'm guessing Tasso was an on-purpose misspelling of 'Task.')  Anyway, I replied,

I had not ever heard the word 'tasso'
So I used Google just like a lasso
Learned it's some cut of pork
(Is it said in New York?)
And this final line rhymes 'cause I sasso.
