What's a Manicorn?



After reading the comic, I was wondering, what on earth is "manicorn"? I was thinking it might have something to do with "unicorn". "Manicorn" is obviously lexically primed for the two sisters, but not their mother, since their mother appeared puzzled at the word "manicorn". The sisters understand "manicorn" as the elusive, perfect male, and they live near rainbows. Haha.

There were no results for "manicorn" in Dictionary.com. But there are results for "manicorn" in Urban Dictionary! Here are some meanings given:

1. a mythical male creature who is successful (read: pursuing his passion and can pay his electric bills/rent), funny, chivalrous, masculine (read: not chauvinistic), adventurous, artistic (read: not suicidal).

2. The elusive perfect male. He can be found at bars, but not singing karaoke drunk while making out with your best friend. He is sensitive to your needs and is a caring man who will put your needs first. He will talk about feelings with you and will never cheat on you ever.

3. A half-man, half-beast creature, with an unholy horn on his head.

Sounds like the elusive, perfect male? Not really, I guess. Haha. =P
