switched out
Traded for another
Switched out means replaced or exchanged, typically one thing for another: They switched out the old carpet for hardwood.
The phrase emphasizes the substitution rather than simple removal—something new takes the place of what was there before.
In casual speech, it can describe feeling mentally disconnected or zoned out: I was totally switched out during the meeting.
