The act of going out with one roommate, then realizing you like the other one more and wanting to switch. However, if you simply break up with your girlfriend her roommate will be too loyal to her to go out with you. So you request a menage a trois to your girlfriend, and she will be so offended by the fact that you're attracted to her roommate that she will break up with you. Then she will tell her roommate, who will understand that you like her. Your ex will not be against this in any way, because she was the one who dumped you. You will have successfully performed the roommate switch.
Made popular by Seinfeld.

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.)
The Matrix: Neo, just after the security guard says, 'Do you have any metallic objects with you?'
The Rundown: The Rock, while holding the two shotguns in the village raid scene.
300: Like, every five seconds.

You: I'll take it.

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.
