Music Terms That Make You Laugh

One that always gets me is "pianissimo".

"Fag." :whistling: Nah, that one stopped being funny long ago.

"ritard." It's like the score calls you a retard. :)

Atonality, lulz.

Otonality and Utonality to some degree, but mostly Isocords.

penissimo? the only thing other than french and italian bassoon parts that still get me is when anything with Bass in the instrument name is copied so that you get donkey Clarinet, donkey Guitar, assoon, donkey Marimba

"Fag." :whistling: Nah, that one stopped being funny long ago.

"ritard." It's like the score calls you a retard. :)

Glad to see you've matured.

Not to be confused with datcord.

Pianist...so long as one says it quickly and emphasizes the first sylable. I strongly (and slowly) put all emphasis on the second so as to avoid all confusion...

Pizzicato, because I heard my friend's orchestra teacher pronounce it "Pissicato"

Ha! I was in the middle of class and I lolled.

For me, anytime someone spouts some crap and doesn't know what they're talking about is funny. And I know it would be pretty funny if I tried to talk about agriculture or chemistry, but at least I know not to try.

I tend towards the first two, more the second. I've heard the third. The fourth seems intentionally pretentious. Which do you prefer?

Whoa, I can type and post in this box, yet Windows is telling me that Google Chrome crashed. Wait, now Chrome told me "WHOA, I just crashed, mate!" Yet I'm still typing... lala.... lalala... laa... wait, I hate solf

I hate it when stupid high school band kids don't know that Bassoon in almost every other language is some sort of "Faggott" and they're like "WHAT IS A FAGGOTT!!!! HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAHAHAAA!!!!" and i'm like "dude shut up it isn't funny."

It's pretty funny. But I'm sure every male bassoonist the world over is tired of it. Sorry that you're one of them, but your instrument has a funny name.

It's TROMBONIST not TROMBONER!!!!!!

:angry:

Percy Grainger. Things like, instead of molto ritardando, "SLOW DOWN LOTS"

and instructions to play "throbbingly"

this is true...his habit of turning every word into an adverb is as retarded as his music.

I happen to love his music. -_-

Grainger's good, no bashing allowed.

"SLOW DOWN LOTS"

Lol'd :)

Glissando. :D Plus, it sounds funny when trombones or strings do it. :p

Dipthong, f-hole, overblow, fingering (randomly fingering...)...all the phrases to feed my inner id. *is guilty*
