(lexical-, phrasal-unicorns)

In a figurative sense, a [unicorn] can refer to
something rare, unique, and difficult to find.

Here are some examples of how "unicorn" is used figuratively:

-- "Finding a parking spot downtown during rush hour is like finding a
unicorn."

-- "The company is looking for a marketing professional with a unicorn
skillset: someone who is both creative and analytical."

-- "That antique shop is a treasure trove! I found a unicorn - a first
edition book in mint condition!"
