They actually mean that something is unusual or uncommon but the word unique has been misued for so long that it is becoming accepted to use it this way.

Does novel mean unique?
Mmmm, no, "novel" means 'new'. It can mean 'interesting' and 'unusual' combined. Unique (Uni que) means only one of a kind. There is no such thing as "very unique" - it is meaningless, since it means, "Very one of a kind." It's like being pregnant . . . you might say, "She is very pregnant, isn't she?)", but that is meaningless, too, since you can only be 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant'.

If something is unique, it means it is the only one of its kind. An artist who makes vases by hand can say that each vase is unique if no two are exactly the same.

For instance, you could have a group of 28 test scores with only 15 unique values in that group, because there are multiple occurrences of some scores. Because something unique is not merely unusual but one of a kind, it is not correct to say "very unique", "more unique", or "most unique".
