Unicorn and other TUSCL jargon

This post got me thinking about misused Tuscl jargon: [view link]
For me, a unicorn should not be confused with CF, an ATF, or even an 11/10. There is an extra hurdle of difficulty in finding or capturing the attention to classify a unicorn. For example: the rarity of Asian dancers in SWFL does not alone create a unicorn. However, a 7+ Asian in SWFL does create a unicorn. Alternatively, Kate Upton's sexy twin is not unicorn. However, if you were a regular at said club where she works, but you always missed her shift or she was always locked down by a whale or bottle service when you were there; then the impossibility of meeting [capturing] her could earn her the title of unicorn.
I know I can be anal about these things, but people's imprecision with words, misapplication of common idioms, or overuse and misuse of novel phrases (e.g. thrown under the bus) has always been. Pet peeve.
Am I wrong about defining a unicorn? What TUSCL jargon have you heard misapplied?
