YOU SAID:
i eat up compliments like a competitive eater eats hot dogs
INTO JAPANESE
競争の激しい人がホットドッグを食べるように私は賛辞を食べる
BACK INTO ENGLISH
I eat compliments as a highly competitive person eats hot dogs
INTO JAPANESE
競争の激しい人がホットドッグを食べるように私は褒め言葉を食べる
BACK INTO ENGLISH
I eat compliments as a highly competitive person eats hot dogs
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
