unique
In strict English, "unique" means one-of-a-kind. Because it describes something that is the only one, some people believe it cannot be modified by words like "very," "more," or "most." However, in common everyday conversation, many people use "unique" to mean "unusual" or "special." In these cases, phrases like "very unique" are widely used and accepted.

Mark uses 'unique' to describe a specific, unusual noise his hardware is making to avoid admitting he might have dropped it. He uses the slang 'toasted' to mean the device is permanently broken/dead.
