What's that thing?

One of my housemates has a particularly irritating habit. Well,
actually he has several but only one is of interest here. He makes up
for it by coming along to the uni workshop from time to time. We'll soon
have him racing around and helping us to beat the LUNIs (could we change
the rules so that whoever falls off most wins?)

This particular habit rears its Barneylike head when he's watching the
television. He will see something on the screen and announce to the
world what he is seeing. After an evening of this I finally broke when a
chicken appeared on the screen and he said "chicken." I told him he was
like a 3 year old showing off to the world how many things he can put
names to (he's a physicist).

"But what does all this have to do with unicycling?" I hear you ask in
mounting frustration. Well, it made me realise how many people see me
and say "unicycle." It's rare enough that it hadn't really registered
before, but it happens. Watch out for it, I'm sure you'll notice it soon.
