In piano and any other sheet music, to transpose something means to change a song to a different key. It will be exactly the same except that it will be pitched higher or lower. For example you could transpose a song from C Major up to E flat Major.

A spoonerism is an error in speech or deliberate Word_playin which corresponding Consonant, Vowel, or Morphemesare switched (see Metathesis_(linguistics)). It is named after the Reverend William_Archibald_Spooner(1844-1930), Warden of New_College,_Oxford, who was notoriously prone to this tendency. It is also known as a marrowsky, after a Polish_peoplecount who suffered from the same impediment. While spoonerisms are commonly heard as slips of the tongue resulting from unintentionally getting one's words in a tangle, they can also be used intentionally as a play on words. In some cultures, spoonerisms are used as a rhyme form used in poetry, such as German_languageSchüttelreime. Spoonerisms are commonly used intentionally in humour, especially Drunkhumour.
Contents[Answers.com]Most of the quotations attributed to Spooner are Apocryphal; The_Oxford_Dictionary_of_Quotations(3rd edition, 1979) lists only one substantiated spoonerism: "The weight of rages will press hard upon the employer." Spooner claimed that "The Kinquering Congs Their Titles Take" (in reference to a hymn) was his sole spoonerism. Most spoonerisms were probably never uttered by William Spooner himself, but rather made up by colleagues and students as a pastime. Richard_Lederer, calling "Kinkering Kongs their Titles Take" (with an alternate spelling) one of the "few" authenticated Spoonerisms, dates it to 1879, and gives nine examples "attributed to Spooner, most of them spuriously".They are:
- "Three cheers for our queer old dean!" (dear old queen, referring to Queen_Victoria)
- "Is it kisstomary to cuss the bride?" (customary to kiss)
- "The Lord is a shoving leopard." (a loving shepherd)
- "A blushing crow." (crushing blow)
- "A well-boiled icicle" (well-oiled bicycle)
- "You were fighting a liar in the quadrangle." (lighting a fire)
- "Is the bean dizzy?" (dean busy)
- "Someone is occupewing my pie. Please sew me to another sheet." (occupying my pew...show me to another seat)
- "You have hissed all my mystery lectures. You have tasted a whole worm. Please leave Oxford on the next town drain." (missed...history, wasted...term, down train)
A newspaper column attributes this additional example to Spooner: "A nosey little cook." (cozy little nook).
