The outlet's name refers to the linguistic phenomenon of [[code-switching]], when speaker moves between multiple languages or dialectics. Demby's introductory essay said the project construed the concept broadly, with the linguistic concept also serving as means of analyzing aspects of race and culture in identity: "Many of us subtly, reflexively change the way we express ourselves all the time. We're hop-scotching between different cultural and linguistic spaces and different parts of our own identities—sometimes within a single interaction."<ref>{{cite news|last1=G.|first1=R.L.|title=How black to be?|url=https://www.economist.com/blogs/johnson/2013/04/code-switching|accessdate=25 August 2016|work=The Economist|date=April 10, 2013}}</ref>
