Thought I would share a story and thoughts from tonight....
I was out to dinner tonight with SWMBO having a local craft beer that she was enjoying. I asked what she liked about it compared to what I currently have on tap and she stated it wasn't as "strong". I asked her to detail a bit more what she meant by "strong", and she stated that I am "supposed to know what she means". Furthermore, she suggested that we should have an SWMBO flavor translator that will help us identify what they are attempting to describe when telling us what they like and don't like about our home brews.
In this case, "Strong" = "Bitter" = She doesn't like high IBU with Cascades.
So, the first entry for my "SWMBO Flavor Translator Database" is Strong = Bitter.
Hope this helps someone else root cause SWMBO flavor translating. Please share any of your own experiences that may help the rest of us.
