Funny stuff! I use Google Translate a lot after I write my note to my foreign clients in English, and then add the translation below that, usually into Russian or Spanish. I always wonder how much of it actually comes through on the other end!

My son and I were texting and he jokingly complained that he couldn't keep up because of this big thumbs.
I put "big thumbs" into Google Translate to Japanese and then retranslated it back to English and it seems "big thumbs" is a metaphor for "Rave Reviews".
2 thumbs up!
