What does there's a unicorn in the house mean?
  

Top answer

What is the context? The only Google hit I get for this phrase is about as literal as possible, given that unicorns do not actually exist. It is accompanied by a picture of a pony made to look like a unicorn (by strapping a pretend horn to its head) which has been led inside someone's house as a novelty for a child's party.

Without context this is nonsensical since there are no such things as unicorns. It would have to be used in a figurative or very unusual sense, thus context is needed to make sense out of it.

Anonymous What does there's a unicorn in the house mean?
It means the same thing as "There's a rabbit in the house" except it's a unicorn instead of a rabbit.

Is there something you don't understand about There's a [rabbit / raccoon / horse / turtle / ...] in the house as a sentence pattern?
