  1. Synonym of change places.

    The pair were sitting together at the dining table in Auntie Flip’s little house. The boy had had the tiniest inkling that his great-aunt wouldn’t like the idea of swapping places with his dad in prison, but he wasn’t giving up yet. Frank took a bite of his quiche. As usual, it tasted horrible.
