"so how come you only get £10 EMA now? ... ahh yeah, switchboom"

(where one person is talking to another about the amount of household income-related educational maintenance allowance they receive, and the person's father works in the switch business - therefore, an explosion in the switch market, or switchboom, would mean that they would receive more income and therefore less benefit)

switchfoot 

An alternative rock band from San Diego, California. The name comes from a surfing term meaning to switch the position of your feet on the board. This also alludes to taking on a different perspective on life. Contrary to popular belief, they are not a Christian band; although the members individually are Christians. Songs are usually written in Socratic dialogue containing socially aware lyricism. Many consider them a sell-out, poser, one-hit-wonder band, while in fact their music hasn't strayed at all from their roots.
I find it interesting that pro-Switchfoot comments here are positive and polite, (with the exeption of one, I think, sarcastic comment) while anti-Switchfoot comments are extremely derogatory and misinformed in nature. I think this says alot about the band itself.
