Texans refer to the Texas Horned Lizard as the Horned Frog. It is not a frog, but it is a lizard.
Its range includes Arizona, New Mexico, Mexico, all of Texas and Oklahoma, Colorado, Kansas, Arkansas, and Louisiana. The lizard was introduced in North and South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida.
They mostly eat harvester ants, but also eat other small insects. There has been a decline in their population because of the invasion of fire ants in their territory and pesticides. Both of them are killing off the harvester ant population, thereby lowering the source of food for the lizard.
The Texas Horned Lizard is a nationally protected species, making it a crime to capture, possess, transport, sell, and hunt them without a special license.
When threatened, it will puff up to stick its horned body out. This makes it difficult for predators to try and chew, bite, or swallow the lizard. If this does not scare the predator, it will shoot a stream of blood out of its eye. The lizard is incredibly accurate with this defense and can shoot up to five feet.
The Texas Horned Lizard is the state reptile of Texas, the mascot of Texas Christian University, and is seen as sacred by some Native American tribes in the American Southwest. Students, faculty, fans, etc. of Texas Christian University are also referred to as Horned Frogs.

Definition: Chilling out / having a good time.
This saying can be allegedly traced back to the frog plague of California in 1832, where citizens would pass time by hunting the pests - namely the Rana draytonii. This activity then became a commonplace pass-time which resulted in the creation of 'passing the frog', or rather the corpses of the frogs that were hunted.
Through the power of the internet, this saying has now transcended continental barriers and made its way to Australia.
