Network Dictionary – Unicorn Tears

Term: Unicorn Tears.

Common use: “bathed in Unicorn Tears”

Term used to describe a product that slices, dices, give you support where you need it, will last a lifetime, has amazing properties ….. and that’s not all, it’s also bathed in Unicorn Tears.

Alternate Use: When some piece of kit is having problems and there is no solution, it’s time to sprinkle it with Unicorn Tears. (compare with RITA)

Suggested Usage:

“Yes, Customer, our product is so awesomely brilliant you will want it. And, for your reassurance, we have bathed it in Unicorn Tears to ensure it’s purity and quality.”

In a product strategy meeting: “the company claims that their product is bathed in Unicorn Tears, which makes me doubt whether is works at all”

Note that this most commonly occurs when referring to Storage Products. I mean, how complicated can a bunch of hard disks get!

PS: Unicorn Tears are NOT TO BE CONFUSED with Unicorn Chaser which is a drink available from ThinkGeek which is used dispel nasty thoughts from tasteless material on the Internet.
