electron sliding between two objects

Someone once told me that an electron can move from one body to another. And those two bodies can be constantly exchanging electrons.

 

I don't think the name for this phenomenon is "electric slide."

Does anyone know the name of this phenomenon?

 

In general, the person said that from my body (human body with clothes, etc..) to that other person's body, electrons move back and forth between us.

This sounds like a basic description of a covalent bond, like the bonds in water -- [math]H_2 O[/math].
