Why is the advertisement "spunk on her lips" improper?

The word spunk is not usually used to refer to courage or bravery because it's more popular use refers to something that is very vulgar - SEMEN.

For many, this advertisement would mean that Kathryn Bernardo has semen on her lips which is, of course, something that the Kathryn herself does not want to have. This is clearly a wrong choice of word and synonym to emphasize that she has the courage or that the lipstick is something that compliments a woman.
