This is when you play an instument that is not concert pitch, you must play a lower or higher written note to match in sound the written note of an instument that is concert pitch, like a piano.
John, play a note that is a half-step lower to match my b-flat.

A guy with tendencies toward wearing feminine clothes and/or makeup, but stopping short of a full-fledged transvestite or transexual. E.g. sporting guyliner, lipstick, excessive jewelry, female hairdos, and wearing overly tight shirts and women's black jeans. Usually this is just done for attention, rather than to signify sexual preference. Most common among rock singers.
Pete Wentz, Brandon Flowers, and the "Leave Britney Alone" guy are transposers.
