Transition Metal

A Transition Metal is an element from the D block of the periodic table which forms at least one ion with an incomplete d sub–shell containing at least one electron.

Used ambiguously by the WJEC to annoy students, especially Sam Jones.

Sam: 'Hey Alex, what's a transition metal?'

Alex: 'It's a D block element that forms ions with incomplete d orbitals.'

Sam 'Yeah, but the WJEC aren't really clear on their definition. It's causing a lot of confusion.'

Alex: 'That's exactly the type of shit those cunts would do!'

Eddie Murphy Transition

When your girlfriend transition from "My Girl Likes to Party all the time, party all the time" by Eddie Murphy, to watching shitty Disney movies like "Dr. Doolittle" staring Eddie Murphy.

I broke up with Elizabeth because she was cool before the Eddie Murphy Transition happened, now she wants to stay home every night.

Transitional Glasses

Glasses that change from normal glasses to sunglasses according to the amount of light in their location. Mainly worn by autistic, karate-fighting kids. Often accompanied by a head-strap to keep the glasses on in physical circumstances (eg. karate, bullying episodes, etc). Also worn by douchebags that like to wear sunglasses in the winter.

Person 1: Hey, who's that kid hiding under his coat with the transitional glasses?
Person 2: Oh, that's Davey. Don't bother him or he'll hiss at you.

transition

The term used to describe a transsexual's journey from appearing like their birth sex to their actual gender. Often includes HRT and surgery of some kind.

Transitioning can be very painful, but in the long run it's worth it to just be yourself.

Transition Era

Also simply called the "Transition", this is the time period between the 80s and 90s, from 1989 to 1991, possibly very early 1992. This corresponds with the administration of George Bush. The Cold War was over, but the 90s had not started yet since Bill Clinton was not yet in office. Cartoons of the time period were Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (along with their live-action movies) at the height of their popularity, the Nicktoons like Dough, Ren and Stimpy,and Rugrats, Captain Planet, and the latest Super Mario brothers cartoons to name a few. USA's cartoon express was still stubbornly hanging on though. This was also when music made a change from the 80s "hair bands" to the Seattle Sound and the grunge scene. Hip hop and rap were becoming more mainstream. The fashion was somewhat of a hybrid with 80s and 90s, neon colors remaining popular. This is also the same time that The Simpsonsfull length episodes premiered on the young FOX Network.

The Transition Era was awkward for all involved due to the drastic changes that occured. This has not occured before and so far not since.
