rhino

Definitions

Medical

• prefix
  (written as rhino-)
  referring to the nose

Slang

• noun money. A raffish term which seemed obsolescent until its revival, along with synonyms such as pelf, dosh, moolah, etc., during the glamorising of finance and commerce in the mid-1980s. The word has had this meaning since the end of the 17th century, perhaps because of the value of the (supposedly aphrodisiac) rhinoceros horn or simply because the animal was at that time a fabulous symbol of wealth and exoticism.
