It’s a mix of known terms and newly invented ones. Obscure cultural references are popular, whether recent or not. My favorite... Jecklls = trousers. Reasoning thusly:
Jeckll from Jeckll and Hyde. Hyde rhymes with stride. Stride is Australian slang for trousers.
I explained this to a linguist at my university and she was beyond ecstatic.
