It annoys me when people use the word unique to mean unusual. Unique means that something is one-of-a-kind, that there's nothing like it.

Unique is a binary state, something is either unique or it isn't - there are not degrees of uniqueness.

So please - please - stop employing phrases like "very unique". I may have to start punching people who abuse this glorious word.
