An extension of the acronym BAMF, a BAMF Switch is a scene in an action or other genre of film, where a character, typically lead, becomes more of a BAMF than they were a moment before.
Most, but not all, BAMF Switches result in some kind of fight scene.
BAMF Switches are often characterized by:
1.) Changes in music. (Raised tempo, a more intense genre, or even no music at all.)
2.) Monologing, or, more commonly, a single phrase.
3.) Flashbacks
4.) Slow Motion
5.) Reloading a weapon
6.) A physical gesture, such as cracking the neck or knuckles, or awesomely punching someone.
7.) Shifting Gears (If in a vehicle)
8.) A Close up. Especially if the character has just done something very dramatic, such as falling in a pool of blood, or cutting some dude in half.
9.) A change in Weather. Often to high winds or rain. (Similar effects can be given by sprinklers, or large fans)
10.) A Physical Transformation. (Putting on armor or some kind of awesome suit, changing into some kind of creature, or transforming from a vehicle into a giant robot.)

Get the BAMF Switch mug.This is an unplanned sexual act. It occurs when a man is about to lick a girls clit but when he gets his head down there the smell gags him and he can't do it. But he likes the girl and doesn't want to embarass her so he quickly jumps up and shoves his penis in here mouth yelling "I forgot, ladies first."

Get the Hungarian Switch mug.A Fad Switch is like a light switch. It symbolizes how long a fad is held. If someone says 'the fad switch was left on too long' it means the fad has been overused and stayed it's welcome. When someone says 'Turning off the fad switch' it means stopping the fad, and 'The fad is in the dark' means the fad is dead. Catch my drift?
Forum poster 1: Didn't he create the insert fad here?
Forum poster 2: Yeah, someone should have turned off the fad switch in that situation.
