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.
(Example of two speakers switching stations between each other)

A sex activity where you and your partner/partners form a circle ass up, then a person in the center of the ass circle uses a lumpy cucumber to fuck a person of their choice. Then the two people swap places and the new person in the center gets to choose who to fuck with the lumpy cucumber.

An overpriced and underpowered piece of junk console that you won't even own yourself upon buying it and that some physical games for it aren't actual physical copies.
Even though some Nintendo fans have said that the Nintendo Switch 2 is overpriced, said fans are literally still paying for it and are so brainwashed into defending the company and their practices, not to mention paying 110$+ CAD for a fucking Mario Kart game.

Ellen saw all her senior friends change drastically. She didn’t realize the senior switch up was real.
