unicorn bait

Where it comes from

From the tradition that only a virgin could tame a unicorn, leading hunters to use virgins to lure the legendary beast into being captured.

noun

humorous, slang, uncountable A virgin. She had turned herself back into a virgin again, with that flair for backwardness of hers. An unusual talent, I thought, but of no particular use - except perhaps in a cat-house, where, by exercising it she might continue to fetch premium prices from customers with a special taste for unicorn bait.
