    It is informal but not or rude; papers use it all the time.

    It它 is informal but not slangy or rude是口語但不是俚語,也不粗俗;papers use it all the time報紙也常常這樣用。

    Though actually, “white rhino” and “black rhino” are poor colour names: the two African kinds are not really white and black, and “white” may have started as a mix-up with a word for “wide” (the mouth). There is also an old slang rhino meaning money, whose origin is unknown — that is a different word-use, not this animal sense.

    Though actually不過事實上,“white rhino” and “black rhino”「白犀牛」和「黑犀牛」 are poor colour names其實是很不準確的顏色名稱:the two African kinds are not really white and black這兩種非洲犀牛其實都不是真的白色或黑色,and “white” may have started as a mix-up with a word for “wide” (the mouth)而「white」可能是把表示「寬」(指嘴巴)的字聽錯了才來的。There is also有一個 an old slang古老的俚語 rhino meaning money意思是「錢」,whose origin is unknown它的來源不明——that is a different word-use, not this animal sense那是另一個用法,不是這個指動物的意思。

    This rhino is simply with the ending cut off.

    This rhino這個「rhino」 is simply就只是 rhinoceros with the ending cut off把 rhinoceros 的字尾切掉而已。
