Monday, April 8, marked the launch of Code Switch, our new blog covering race, ethnicity and culture. To commemorate the blogs launch, all week we solicited stories about code switching the practice of shifting the languages you use or the way you express yourself in your conversations. People sent us hundreds of stories illustrating the many ways we code switch and the many reasons for doing it. Five of those motivations came up again and again in the stories we read Eventually, I started code switch screaming English profanities. Lisa Okamoto. 1 Our lizard brains take over The most common examples of code switching were completely inadvertent folks would slip into a different language or accent without even realizing it or intending to do it. One such story came from Lisa Okamoto, who told us she was born and raised in Los Angeles by two parents from Japan, a place shes visited all her life. This trip was particularly memorable warning, profanity euphemisms ahead If you ever watched the original Ring movie, I think you will understand this the Japanese take horror stories pretty seriously, but in a very creepy quiet way. I find Japanese horror movies and haunted houses to be ten times scarier than the American counter part. I went back to Japan with a friend during the summer of 2. Japan. The Japanese have this concept that the summertime is the best time to tell scary stories, because the chill you feel from fright will cool you down during the humid months. My friend loves scary stories, and she wanted to go into a haunted maze when we were visiting Yokohama. I protested and protested but eventually she convinced me to go through the haunted maze, instead of making her go through it alone. The premise of the haunted maze was the following The setting was a haunted middle school, where a little girl named Mi chan died a tragic death. She died so suddenly that she didnt properly enter the after world, and her spirit was still lingering at the school. You were supposed to go through this maze with an amulet, find Mi chan, and place it on her so that she can properly enter the afterlife. We were handed a flashlight and an amulet prop, and entered into the maze. I already knew I was getting myself into trouble, but I didnt expect how scary it was going to be. It was terrifying. Periodically, you would hear quiet scratches and taps on the walls of the maze, with a voice saying, Watashi wa Mi Chan translation I am Mi Chan. I was talking in Japanese when entering the maze, but I started losing control because I was just so scared. Eventually, I started code switch screaming English profanities OH MY F ING GOD, GET ME THE F OUT OF HERE etc., etc. You can fill in the blanks with your imagination. I consider myself fully bilingual, but I realized at this moment that, when Im in a fight or flightsurvivor instinct situation, my mind switches to English. This is probably because Ive lived in the US all my life, and never lived in Japan. I was yelling and screaming in English throughout the whole maze, and still hearing the watashi wa Mi Chan voice here and there. But suddenly the voice said, Watashi wa Mi Chan. I am. My name is Mi Chan, in the most awkward, Japanese accented English possible. The staff had taken such pity on my rude profanity stricken fear that they also code switched for me. When I heard that awkward English, I literally fell to the floor and cried and laughed at the same time. I was so scared, but the English took me by such surprise, and I felt the oddest combination of release. We want to fit in Very often, people code switch both consciously and unconsciously to act or talk more like those around them. While this can be effective, it can also be perilous, as John Davis told us I am a Spanish teacher in a high needs school in Nashville. I grew up in a homogenous town in rural Pennsylvania. Foreign languages came easily for me, so I majored in Spanish and minored in French at the University of Pittsburgh. When I moved to my school in Nashville, I had to learn another language Southern, African American English. I entered my learning experience with fervor. Alineacion De Ejes Manual. My students taught me almost as much as I taught them in my first years. Now that I am well versed in the language, I have trouble code switching back to Standard American English. One day my principal walked into my room and asked me, Mr. Davis, I didnt receive your editions to the School Improvement Plan. I replied, Nah, you flaugin bruh, I put that on your desk yesterday. My boss froze, with his jaw dropped and one eyebrow raised. After a moment he shook his head and said, youre spending too much time with the kids. My bad. In our pitch to users for stories about code switching, we asked jokingly whether anyone learned Farsi to eavesdrop on their in laws. And sure enough, in came this story from Amy Proulx Yes, I actually did secretly learn Farsi to snoop on the in laws. I married an Iranian Canadian, and after torturing myself trying to learn through the standard language tapes and computer programs, I sort of gave up, and instead, started watching Iranian soap operas. Oh the drama, the intrigue, the suspicion and suspense What a way to learn Farsi, through the vice of sappy television. My bad habit lead to good Farsi skills, but my handle on slang and colloquial language was the real kicker. When at a memorial ceremony for my late father in law, I proceed to intone a rather dramatic, but reasonably common Shiite prayer courtesy of my TV watching. My brother in law, in the middle of this most dramatic and somber moment, nearly fell over laughing. He declared that I proclaimed this Shiite prayer with perfect diction and pronunciation, and that I was a model of a perfect daughter and sister in law. I was in the in crowd with the in laws, thanks to soap operas. We want to get something A lot of folks code switch not just to fit in, but to actively ingratiate themselves to others. We can not tell you how many dozens of stories we got from people who work in service industries who said that a Southern accent is a surefire way to get better tips and more sympathetic customers. Apparently everyone who works in a restaurant picks up yall immediately upon arriving at their job. If you can pull off the right accent in the right context, you can get all kinds of favors, as this story from Patti Hollingshead illustrates We lived in Ireland some years ago and noticed there were often two prices for goods and services reasonable prices for the locals and much more expensive costs for others Americans. It was not easy, but I practiced my Irish accent until we qualified for local pricing. Still, they would often ask me where I was from, as my accent was anything but flawless. But Id come up with the name of some obscure town hundreds of miles away, which explained my odd Irish accent and usually satisfied them. Once, to my, Ack, Im from dahn twards Clara Bog, the guy responded in Gaelic. I had no idea what he was saying. I continued to smile, laugh, and nod at what I hoped were appropriate times as he excitedly talked on and on.
