I heard another announcer use the phrase "most unique." Unique means one of a kind, and therefore such qualifiers before it are superfluous and erroneous. It's like saying, "most dead," or "most perfect."

And I won't begin to tell you how my skin crawls when an on-air analyst says, "between he and I." mad
