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.

Get the gas station biscuit mug.uuhh nevada? or california.. i just woke up here is what you would say if you traveled to alberta with a rat. warping time and space when you do that. Alberta doesn't have rats... so making them see a rat is just breaking the universe. so you travel to someplace called "gas station" this also supports XBOX and is strange... because WHAT XBOX ARE YOU GONNA BE USING OUT THERE. anyways, if you want to suffer. go to gas station simulator by bringing a rat to alberta. you may also see a bit of ohio. but that doesn't really matter

Get the Gas Station mug.Very specific flex by old money, especially those in academic circles. The wagon can be Volvo, Mercedes, Audi, or BMW; the older, the better. It will be navy, black, silver, or British racing green. Every other car/suv is viewed as trashy or “new money”. The wagon driver goes out of their way not to display their wealth, not out of modesty, but because they know someone else will tell anyone who needs to know just how rich they are. Wagon is often passed down to child after decades of driving by original owner.
