I tried https://api.pwnedpasswords.com/range/e38ad

And sure enough:

Wow, 2.4 million for "password1". Apparently "123456" is the most common password of all time. Even random phrases and memes I tried were pwned, like "The Lord of the Rings" and "correcthorsebatterystaple"

I know you meant the word colloquially, but those aren't random phrases and that's why they're in the dataset.

"The Lord of the Rings" and "correcthorsebatterystaple" match but similar truly random phrases do not, I picked these without looking:

This Duke and Some Circles

Sure enough neither of them was in the dataset.

Give it a week...

Worth noting that Tr0ub4dor&3 wasn't pwned, unlike "correct horse battery staple", according to https://haveibeenpwned.com/Passwords :-)
