Code switching? Between Morse and semaphore.

Or when a student asks the prof "Have you eaten yet?" and then turns to

a fellow student and asks "Jeet yet?"

Or when there's an alternation of congestion in the sinuses and the chest.

Well, si puedes, we can talk about lotsa other stuff too, sabes, like, you

know, Yiddish borrowings que parecen palabras griegas, pero hay que

cambiar frm one language to another right in the middle, right en medio de

whatever you're trying to say. No?
