transplode 

neither an explosion nor an implosion, a transplosion can only be described as a force similar to that of both the explosion and the implosion. It first explodes in one place, implodes, then travels, unseen, to a completely different, random location, exploding a second time.

"Did you see Star Jones' ass? It transploded all over the place!"

Transphobe 

Someone who is afraid of transcontinental travel. Kind of like an agoraphobe but they are okay to leave the house.

I would go to Canada but I'm too much of a transphobe to travel that far.

transpooned 

When, while sleeping head-to-toe with another person, you wake up to find that person clutching your legs as if they were an attractive female.

Bryan transpooned me last night. I tried to kick him in the face but he headbutted me first.

transcode 

What is a Transcode?

Put simply, a transcode is any audio file that wasn't encoded from an original lossless source, such as a retail CD (not created from lossy files) or a properly made lossless rip. At What, we only allow one lossy step in the lineage of any upload.

Why is transcoding bad?

Whenever you encode a file to a lossy format (such as mp3, m4a(AAC), ogg, or mpc) information is permanently lost. It doesn't matter what you do, it's impossible to get this information back without making a new rip from the original lossless source. If you reencode it to a different format or bitrate, all you're doing is reducing the quality. This applies to any lossy to lossy conversion, so even if you convert from 320kbps to 192kbps, the final file will still sound worse than if you had just ripped to 192kbps in the first place.

It's also important to remember to verify that lossless rips actually came from an original source. People that download lossless expect it to be identical to the original. There's no point in people downloading a bigger file just to get another lossy rip.

So how do I verify that my upload isn't a transcode?

The simplest way is to rip and encode it from the original source yourself. That way, you know that there has been only one lossy step (or that the rip is truly lossless, if you decided to do a lossless rip).

You should also check it by using a wave editor (such as Adobe Audition) to look at the spectral frequency display.

Hey here's the new Childish Gambino album! Awww it's a shitty transcode. The spectrals show it was chopped at 10 kHz. Why are the guys that leak this stuff retarded?

transposer 

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.

transphobe 

you

bro, you're such a transphobe, a penis or vagina does not determine if one is a male or a female. sex and gender are two different things (actually true btw go cry about it)

transplacent 

A mix between transient and complacent - to be self-satisfied and slightly arrogant, but in a thoughtful way.

Dude: I'm feeling really happy with everything, I kicked this guy's ass, I burned this building down, and I had a really great time doing it, but I can't help wondering why people have a problem with me.
Dudette: You seem very transplacent today.
Dude: Yea, I guess I am.

Another dude: Yea, feeling fine, feeling perhaps a tad transplacent.
