Have you been to a party that at some point needed something to get the conversation going again? Yeah, me too. How about one of the following as an idea. Two points, I would like to add before hand.

if it's anything like Google translate, you'll be in a job for a long time, glittery! Nuance, inflection, innuendo -  all things a program would have a hardtime detecting never mind translating.

Now for something different. So what are your thoughts on Codpieces? Say what you say?  They haven't been in fashion for quite some time, you say. Yet I bet we all know of someone or of a character who has or is still wearing one. Don't bet, you'd loose. Try to think of someone before watching.
