In this same lesson, the character 脏 means dirty, but is also means "internal organs" in other contexts, and then it's pronounced zang4.

内脏 - internal ogans

心脏 - the heart

2 other uses of 月 :

肌肉 - muscle.

屁股 - rear end

I think we more often use 股 to refer to stocks and investments.

I really like Ghirardelli chocolate. I have never tried their dark varieties but will when I have a chance. Their standard bars are delicious. The giant Ghirardelli sign is one of 旧金山 (Jiù jīn shān - San Francisco)'s landmarks, and Ghirardelli Square, where their original HQ's were located, is now an official landmark of the city.
