I have heard Porsche and Mercedes but Buick? That just screams mediocrity. I couldn't afford Porsche but Buick game me a comfortable ride for $20.

I think it's generational. I'm a bit younger and definitely have heard women referred to as stallions, usually a reference to their ass. I saw this ad and didn't really think anything of it, but I can definitely see the manhood connotation. Come to think about it, I can't remember the last time I heard the world "stallion" in reference to a man. Sounds sort of gay. It's all too confusing, BUT, I've definitely seen far worse escort names.
In my book, any reference to an inanimate object is a bad escort name:
Ice
Rain
Firecracker
And these chicks always double down with that ridiculous "Call, 585-987-000 and ask for Firecracker". Then, invariably you call and feel like a complete ASS when some normal sounding person answers the phone:
Phone: Ring
Chick: Hello
You: *pause* uhhh, I'm calling about the ad???
Chick: Yeah, ok, who are you calling for?
You: gulp *pause* uhhh, firecracker??
Chick: Oh, ok, well, firecracker isn't available right now, but I got another girl
You: *pausing some more realizing that you wouldn't know firecracker from firestarter* Yeah, who might that be?
Chick: Rain
You: *silence*
Chick: Well, call back if you want to see Rain, oh and she's available for doubles with Ocean
You: *Click* Originally Posted by rosine
