Hi, linguist by degree, app admin by trade

Code-switching as defined by wikipedia is cool but I learned it with examples like loaned words becoming permanent between languages being one of the major reasons for "code-switching". Worth noting you rarely see this behavior online comparatively, mostly because of prescriptivist assholes like you that insist they know the entire definition of a word. You're a lot more likely to hear code-switching than see it. The provided example (someone asking for the salt in another language) counts.

Here's a link since you can't possibly comprehend being so unbearably wrong on the internet without a link. https://www.britannica.com/topic/code-switching

That's a good article!

It backs up everything I've been saying and absolutely nothing you just said.

Thanks for linking it

Quick edit:

I suggest you read the whole thing, but it's literally in the first sentence:

code-switching, process of shifting from one linguistic code (a language or dialect) to another, depending on the social context or conversational setting.

Having a brain fart is not a "social context or conversational setting".
