As a lifelong resident of the South, I’ve never heard “stallions” used to describe anything female. At least, not in a nice way.
I found this factoid when I wondered (how bored was I?) how Megan Thee Stallion got her idiotic name.
I wonder if they’re ever called it twice.
And what are statuesque men called?
Today I stumbled across an article about the Victual Brothers.
They were hired as blockade runners to supply Stockholm when it was being besieged by the Danes in 1392. Their name came from this first duty. But they also warred as privateers against the Danes and their allies in the Baltic Sea.
Later they branched out into outright piracy, shutting down trade and conquering the island of Gotland to set up a headquarters there.
Not bad for a bunch who sound like they came from a Monty Python skit…
I heard he could play it just like ringing a bell…
“I know how to spell Mississippi, I just don’t know when to stop.”
As a native son of Minnesota, I must point out that the Mississippi originates at Lake Itasca (latitude 47.2172), where the Earth’s radius is 6366.663 km. Not that it changes the point.
In the South?
“Losers.” 
Yeah, that was me being lazy - I figured out that it was going to be pretty easy to find out the elevation of St Louis, and so I picked it just as an example to show the uphill flow.
I should also add that, not being from round these parts, I had no idea that St Louis was on the Mississippi until I followed the course of the river on a map, looking for a big town whose elevation I would be able to google.

Shoelaces/shoestrings are older than you realize. Well, they’re older than I realized, anyway:
You want to know more about that Areni-1 shoe now, huh? My pleasure:
“Found in … excellent condition” - wow, weren’t they just?
I have shoes that I wear in the allotment/community garden that are in worse condition than that.

I learned from a Henry Hook puzzle that a rolled meat entree is called a Roulade.
I looked up the Marie Claire article the wikipedia bio referenced. It sez:
Her own sobriquet came from the streets. In the South, girls who are statuesque and genetically blessed are called stallions.
She’s from Houston, so maybe it’s more of an urban thing than a southern thing.
That’s more than a nitpick, that’s a necessary correction. Not sure where I got Peru from!
Oh Deborah, you look like a stallion
Oh Deborah, you look like a stallion
Your sunken face is like a galleon
Clawed with mysteries of the Spanish Main, oh Deborah
Deborah: T.Rex
I just learned that mathematicians used to be called computers.
Large (= tall & meaty, not fat) women have always been called “horsey”.
I suppose in some street culture one with impressive breastage and / or good looks could be called “stallion” by extension. Not real polite, but seems plausible coming from a less educated “street” crowd.
See also “alpha”, “leader of the pack”, and “queen”.
Eh, I thought computers were people who would perform iterative calculations. I believe it was a boring job. The computer did away with them.
