Men talk for wife. When guys congregate and smoke, labels for wives and girlfriends take on a tongue and cheek bit of razzing. My wife is the sweetest woman in the world and doesn't mind me going where ever I want or doing whatever I want. But, when around the guys she becomes SWMBO. And, even though it may be our own wishes along to be home by a certain time, we blame the wife, ball and chain, the old bat. It's just a guy thing.

Google translators probably gets all of the words right, but the order in which one nationality speaks may sound jumbled up to another.
I'll give you an example how are Google Translator learning: Until few days ago the translate "pipa" to "tube". In last days I realise that they are traducing correctly. Several times in the last months I use to send to Google the write word (PIPE). Perhaps others peoples do so also. I'll see in G. Translator there is an option "EDIT" and "send" to them. THE ARE LEARNING FROM USERS.

4th Genration 1931 - Burley/Virginia
No bit, no spicy, wonderful tin aroma, beautifully flakes.
Ones smoking the Burley is dominant and tasty, with nutty aroma and taste.
BUT WAS WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE BOWL. Here the blend began a decline in aroma, taste and smoking enjoyment until, in the bottom third, it became almost tasteless and gray and ashy.

I've been happy smoking all kinds of D&R blends, but I do make up my own from 3 of their sturdy varietal offerings. TwoTimer and 3 Sails has been my burley and virginia base mix at approx 1/1. I will then add some Picayune for its perique and dark fired. The 3 Sails is a nice sweet VA but is shredded very finely and requires some 'feathering out' with your fingers to mix it in with the coarser TwoTimer. I figure most of my tobacco costs me less than $20 a lb. and I find it to be just terrific! Remember Bill Cullen?
