To think “Pornstar Martini???” Ughhh!

[Shoppingwithmother]

I don’t consider myself to be prudish in general, but I just received an email from Miller & Carter Steakhouse, saying:

“Another bank holiday is on it’s way, and with the lighter nights and warmer weather, it’s a great chance to indulge a little with our perfectly crafted cocktails, exquisite food, and create more special memories with friends and family.

So toast the holiday with our signature Pornstar Martini.....”

AIBU to think that’s just a bit unnecessary? It’s like someone trying to be all big and clever.

Yes, I’d love to treat my family to a Pornstar Martini....it’s my daughter’s favourite restaurant....we can all experience the glamour of being a porn star together as a family...happy bank holiday!

(Yes, I know it’s not for children...I just think it’s all a bit ....🤮)

They have chosen that as the “signature” of their restaurant.

Ah, "new money", aka money you've earned yourself through brains and hard work rather than money inherited from your family who exploited some peasants a few hundred years ago.

Personally I'm very happy to be new money.

Thanks Ed. Sounds very nice. The last cocktail I had was a free black velvet in an O'Neill's on millennium night, which ruined good Guinness IMO.

I get what you mean OP and I think you're 100% right. It is definitely NOT the same as "Sex on the Beach" which is risqué but not crass. As another poster has pointed out, it's the normalization of "porn" and subsequently using it in other phrases - twenty years ago, it would have been unthinkable to use it as a name in promotional material but now it is considered fair game.

I do hate snobbery, just saying!

I’m no-money myself, unfortunately

Me too Reggae I find being skint socially very freeing!

There's not many benefits to being no-money but I think not owning any kind of f gun would be quite high on my list of benefits.

Exactly Merry I never have to agonise over which shotgun to buy, or which Range Rover? It's very relaxing actually.

You've obviously never been offered a slippery duck cocktail.

And by duck, I mean dick.
