I remember learning about ritardando for the first time from my music teacher. They straight up stopped for a second and said, “That one means slowly, slow down. You guys should easily be able to remember that one for reasons.”
Edit: I should have prefaced, they were NOT referring to us. It was more of an akward vocabulary word.

Still not as bad as when you see German or Italian (coincidentally the two most popular languages for scores to be in…) scores with bassoon parts…
Care to explain the joke for the musically and linguistically disinclined?
Fagott
it’s Italian, though. Oh shoot, I just got what you meant.
