Google Translate is really powerful these days

I mean it’s way more powerful than Google Image Search, which completely failed at the same query:

None of these results are what me and my German pen-pal were looking for.

Also, did you know the German word for slug is basically “naked snail”?

    You were looking for “Los Pechos de la Chola”? Busen would be the right word, but in a geographical context, that is already used in german for bay of the sea. E.g. “Jadebusen”. Maybe “Busenberg”, if you want to describe Twin Peaks, as I presume.

      Nah, we were talking about that style of ’80s pop art where a giant naked (sometimes robotic) lady would be hidden in a landscape of rolling hills, with maybe a road snaking through it, and maybe a Ferrari on the road.
