Today, I was at a band practice. The band was talking to each other with language like "cadence", "resolution" and "consecutive fifths". When they spoke to me, they used terms like "tick", "bong", "ticky bong"; and "bongy tick". Musically, I feel like a baboon. FML

Sounds like you're a drummer. To be honest, it's probably because your bandmates don't know percussive technical terms. And even if they did, onomatopoeia is still the best way to describe what you mean when it comes to drums. FYL if you're not a drummer.

I'm a keyboard (piano, organ) player, and I had to learn to read tenor clef.

At least you know some of the words they are talking about and if you really want to can go look them up. You should start talking back to them in diddly doo doo and parp honk honk parp. And to add to #25 cadences happen in the middle of musical pieces too (ends of phrases or sections).. not just the end.
