According to Wikipedia, in Persian, Urdu, and Hindi languages the liver (جگر or जिगर or jigar) symbolically may represent bravery, strong feelings, or "the best." So, if I was Persian, instead of saying, “I saved you the best vegetables, the cream of the crop,” I might say, “I have saved you the liver of vegetables,” which kind of sounds gross. Liver squash has an unappetizing connotation.
The term jan e jigar, is a term of endearment in Urdu.
Translated, it means “the power of my liver." I can just see me whispering to my
husband, “You are the power of my liver.” Has a nice ring, doesn’t it?
Jigar is Persian slang is used to express desirability,
especially when speaking about women. So, men, if you found a woman sexy, you
might say she is a liver lady. I doubt this will get you a date with anyone,
unless they are liver geeks.
