Primo tail

[Mike Hussey]

Sid speaks about Patchett:

Sid: He runs call girls. Primo tail fixed up to look like movie stars.
Dudley: And?
Sid: Blackmail shit. In my car, in the trunk, under the rug.... Patchett got me to photograph this cop screwing this gorgeous slut named Lynn.

It's particularly disrespectful in this context, where the women are described like commodities. High-quality cannabis sometimes used to be described as, for example, primo Columbian. Using this language for a human being reduces her to a product.
