Happy Switch

A nickname for the fire-selector switch on a fully-automatic firearm. Saying that a particular firearm has a "happy-switch" indicates that it is capable of fully-automatic fire

My new AK47 has a happy switch, so I can fire in full-auto!

Frankenstein switch

A deus ex machina used to perform an extremely complex task in one fell swoop. Often used sarcastically to imply that a task presumed easy is in fact difficult or impossible to automate.

Takes its name from the huge levers used in black and white Frankenstein films to activate the elaborate mechanism used to reanimate The Creature, usually resulting in electrical discharge and cries of "it's alive!!!"

Boss: "Can you migrate all of our users to the new database, change the domain of everyone's email and redirect all traffic to the new datacentre ASAP?"

IT staff: "Sure. I'll just pull this Frankenstein switch..."

Nintendo Switch

This item is near impossible to get a hold of during the COVID19 pandemic. They’re hella expensive on amazon, but affordable at the local shops. However, they’re out of stock, therefore, you’re depressed.

Friend: Hey do you have a Nintendo Switch?
Me: not yet.. they’re out of stock everywhere..
Friend: ...amazon?
Me: too expensive..

switch the bitch

When a woman is all of a sudden worked up (see bitch switch), so you tell her "switch the bitch" so that she can stop and switch her inner bitch off, but it only ever pisses her off more.

Girl: "OMG you haven't even taken out the garbage! Stop sitting there and do something!!"

Guy: "Switch the bitch, switch the bitch"
Girl: "Arghhh!"
