Switch Banks

This term is advice for someone who appears to have left the house without looking in a mirror.

Their appearance is so disheveled, it is assumed that they used the warped reflection of a toaster to check their look. (makeup, clothing, etc.)

It traces back to a time when banks gave away free toasters to new clients, and refers to a faulty toaster being the cause

Friend: "Holy crap! Do you see what that train wreck is wearing?"
Dano: "Yeah. It's like she used her toaster as a mirror. She needs to 'switch banks'."
