"scare" does not make sense, the intent is clearly a sneer. Somebody heard it wrong. "Slim chance" once meant what it sounds like; "fat chance" was sarcasm, now they are interchangeable. "Unique" once meant singular, now it more commonly means "distinctive." When I hear "very unique" I want to get up and go for a walk away from humanity. Americans say "have gotten," in the Commonwealth it's still "have got." The American started as a confusion with "forgotten." All this is a big part of why I have turned down management jobs.
