Right. Try to describe the meaning of partner's bid, if you can.

If I had a club and you came, I would say "If you aren't reasonably
confident about the meaning of your partner's bid, when the opps ask
just leave the table and let your partner explain it." That doesn't
seem complicated to me. Many bridge players would then forget, but the
opps would remind you.

And the critical thing, from your perspective, would be just if you
liked it or didn't.

In terms of staying out of jail, there is never a "rectification" if
the opps understand the meaning of a bid, and partner is much more
likely to get that right than you are.
