Part of the point (the whole point?) of rhyming slang is that it's opaque and convoluted. That's what makes it fun. It also makes it a bit of a shibboleth - you only understand it if you're part of the culture.

If you're eating with an Australian and they ask you to "pass the dead horse", it means they think you're Aussie enough to know what it means. Or they know that you won't know what it means and they're fucking with you intentionally.

Fun fact: in the rest of the world it's just called "licorice". No black. That red stuff isn't licorice at all.

Fun fact: Lady Gaga chose that name because of that song.

You can tell it's made up because it has "it's said that" in it.

The exception is password managers. It's a very rare tool that makes things more secure and easier.

Your OS probably comes with one, and if not there are cheap or even free ones available.
