I think in Germany it is just a city name. In danish on the other hand it means liver-cunt (seriously).

...and yesterday, their professional soccer team "Bayer" made it into the semi-semi-semi-final of the European Champions League! ;-)
(along with Werder Bremen and Bayern Muenchen).

No it doesn't. "Lever" means liver that is correct but "kusen" means nothing in Danish. If it had been "kussen" then it would have ment liver-cunt, but for those of us who actually speaks Danish (and can spell it too) this is not the case.

Funny... Dutch 'kussen' means 'kisses' or 'pillow'. Must make for some marital misunderstandings in mixed Danish-Dutch marriages.

Leverkus was man and his profession apothecy.

He discovered something big, I forgot what, and Leverkusen became named after him and a big center for chemical and pharma industry.

Bayer is the megacorp there.

Yours, Kay

The "something big" Dr. Carl Leverkus "discovered" - more exactly: founded - was a color factory which was bought by Bayer which was founded by Friedrich Bayer.
