The structure uses the rhyming pair "frog and toad" to stand for "road," following the typical Cockney pattern of replacing a word with a phrase that rhymes with it. It is used in Cockney rhyming slang (London, UK) to mean a road or street, often shortened to just "frog." People typically say "Get off the frog and toad" or "I live just down the frog." The term originated in early to mid 20th century London East End rhyming slang culture, and remains a classic, well known example.
