Switching stations

To switch stations simply means to go from one language to next during your interaction with another speaker who may also be bi or multilingual. People "switch stations" to add a bit of context on the subject matter or topic they're talking about so that the listener can fully comprehend the speaker. The speaker also does this as a way to relate to their listener(s) and make them feel connected. The phrase/term originally derived from the multitude of radio and TV stations, in South Africa, that are being broadcasted in different tongues/languages for specific listeners/viewers to read. So if you change from one station to the next, you would hear the new speaker on your telly or radio speak in a different tongue than the predecessor from the other station.
Speaker #1: Sawubona bhuti. Igama lami nguSphiwe and what is your name?

Speaker #2: Yebo, sawubona Sphiwe. I'm Trevor.

Speaker #1: Oh, okay. Ngiyajabula ukukwazi Trevor.

Speaker #2: 😅 Yebo. Nice to meet you too, Sphiwe.

Detroit Train Station

A sexual act, irrelevant of orientation, in which one partner, henceforth referred to as "The Conductor", performs intense anal sex with the other partner, "The Caboose", to completion.

Upon completion the Conductor removes their phallus from the Caboose's sphincter, which at this point should be sufficiently gaped enough for the arrival of the next train. The Conductor then turns around and sits their buttocks of the Caboose's rear, and proceeds to defacate into the Caboose's gaping "station".

The Caboose will then push the train back into the Conductor's own asshole, and the pair will go back and forth until a second climax is reached, at which point, the climaxing partner will shout "ALL ABOARD!"
"Judy and I got a bit freaky last night and took a trip down to the ol' Detroit train station."

"I was feeling a little empty until Bill and I went down to the Detrot train station last night, now we're both pretty full."
