#I love this exchange so much specifically because it tells us a lot about how the translator microbes work. I mean. I highly doubt that – at
#least at this point – john has ever discussed woodies with Aeryn.
#But I can quite easily imagine that he’s at one point looked at some alien thing shuddered and gone ‘ugh. Gives me the willies.’
#And since aeryn’s translator microbes picked that up and returned it with woody we can kind of see how they work.
#It’s taken willie – a colloquial term for penis – and substituted it with another colloquial term for penis – woody.
#The problem is that these terms both have connotations that the microbes don’t pick up on
#hence the incorrect substitution.
#However they do seem to do okay with homophones
#presumably based on context.
#It’s like how back in like 2012 if you typed a word into google translate that didn’t translate well
#it would give you it’s best guess
#and then if you translated it back it would just have a completely different meaning. Essentially translator microbes work probably as well
