Did you know that “Memeler” means Boobs/Titties in Turkish?

  1. Memel or today Klaipeda is a city in Lithuania (formerly part of East Prussia), if you’re interested.

  2. Since nobody answered the question yet … the “Memel” is a river in Lithuania. Its significant, in case you wonder why a street is named after a river in Lithuania, because Germany had to give up the area around the Memel after WWI.

    Edit: Looks like I can’t read, so here we are

  3. There used to be a town in Austria named ‘Fucking’. The renamed it to ‘Fugging’ because people kept stealing their town signs.

  4. What I really love in Germany is the FDP party, which in Brazilian Portuguese is short for son of a bitch. I respect their straightforwardness.

  5. [The Memel](https://www.bpb.de/geschichte/zeitgeschichte/geschichte-im-fluss/135598/die-memel) is a river that once marked the eastern border of germany, it flowed through the ancient prussian city “Königsberg”.

    It was also mentioned in the german hymn (1st verse, today only the 3rd verse is sung):

    >Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
    >
    >Von der Etsch bis an den Belt,

    ​

    After second WW russia took eastern prussia as their exclave.

    This street is dedicated to this river I guess. The ending “er” means affiliation, this street belongs to that river.

  6. I had a turkish girlfriend and she wasnt allowed to play Super Mario in the 90ies as a kid. Because peach(piç) means “bastard” in turkish.
