  • Very unique was originally an insult veiled as an unintentionally incorrect usage of the expression. The hidden meaning could be explained as “I think it’s retarded but I don’t want to say that in public.”

    I know I tend to confuse the two because one wants something that resembles what you have and the other wants what you have directly.
    So the perception of those involved can mix up the two concepts in this regard.
