Yep. Same thing as Don Corleone and Dom Perignon, too. Dominus = Master. I only ever encounter it jokingly, now.

Seriously? That's truly mad we haven't heard of it then.
All the reporting on this guy is around him being the most prolific rapist ever.

[Sheilbh]

Yeah Buzzfeed have done some really good articles on the whole use in the chemsex scene.

Plus there was this serial killer the police missed. It wasn't even properly investigated despite the fact that he left the bodies of two young men in the same graveyard and they were discovered by the same women while walking her dogs.

Yet many of them are amongst the largest companies in their sectors. And I guess they're more familiar to euros, maybe many of those companies don't operate as such in the US.

What percentage of those companies are you familiar with?  Ballpark.  I'm guessing around 1/6 for me.

Zeiss is my workplace #1 customer.
