I think something got lost in translation from French to English. 😊

There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB. The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed. There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

There is a problem in the translation. The sentence, "What does it make to be with a second-hand ?" doesn't quite make sense to me.

The one I heard goes like this:
Justin Beiber was talking to Selena Gomez's new boyfriend: Justin - so, how does it feel playing with used goods? BF - it's alright man.... after the first two inches, everything feels as good as new!
