unique niche Uniche

blend (wombo) of unique + niche, coined by Professor Sendy. The first syllable of unique fuses with the whole of niche, the shared sound of the two words collapsing into a single form. Sendy presents the term as a portmanteau-of-portmanteau-strength, noting in the same lesson that it may be combined with quiche to yield the further coinage Uquiche.
