The combined terms of transformation and conversion - means in a life-changing religious experience
John experienced an amazing transversion while watching the Passion of the Christ.

(a line) that intersects a system of lines
That transversal line went through ten others.
An unfortunate birth defect whereby one’s digestive tract is reversed, causing one to eat with their ass and crap out of their mouth. The ass must be trained to chew food in the same manner as teeth. A serious side effect of transverse digestion is halitosis.
Derek: “Hey Mike, how come you never eat with us?”
Mike: “I didn’t want you to watch me eat with my transverse digestion condition.”
Derek: “So THAT’S why your breath stinks like shit!”
1) A rare neurological condition that can cause permanent damage to parts of the body below the affected spinal nerve area.
2) A condition in which ones nerve is worn very thin by reading poetry in Pig-Latin.
I just couldn't shake me short tempered mood after reading the unabridged works of the obscure Pig-Latin poet Paresthesia. This is when I first noticed that I was experiencing Transverse myelitis.

Cars using transverse leaf springs in their suspension are not to be confused with older cars and trucks that use solid rear axle/leaf spring combinations.
The system is used in some high performance sports cars. Instead of using 4 coil springs, the cars use two single ply (instead of the multiple plys used in trucks/cars with live axles) leaf springs mounted transversely. Using a single ply makes them immune from the friction problems seen in multiple ply systems and also makes them very light (a single transverse leaf spring weighs 1/3 of the weight of the coil springs that could have been used). These cars often use double wishbone or multilink suspensions, just like any other sports car, just not paired with coil springs over the dampers.
Transverse leaf springs have the benefits of being very lightweight, moving more of the cars weight towards the ground, easily adjustable, and rarely (if ever) needing replacement.
They have the disadvantages of being more expensive than coil springs, and since the springs are often made of a lightweight composite material, they are sensitive to damage from harsh chemicals.
Modern Corvettes use transverse leaf springs paired with double wishbone supension on all four corners.
F1 used transverse leaf springs until they switched to the use of torsion springs.
