Join Hablaaa and add the expression no one else has documented.

/Sounds like "MEER" (as in "me") + "loh" (as in "loan") + "BLAHN" (as in "blah") + "koh" (as in "coat")/

Meaning

In Spain, something or someone extraordinarily rare, practically one of a kind. The image comes from ornithology: blackbirds are always black, so a white (albino) one is a statistical near-impossibility. Used to describe anything so exceptional it barely exists.

Examples

A man who can both cook and clean is one in a million.

That job offer was an absolute unicorn in this industry.

Regional synonyms

Spanish slang for roasting someone hard, laying into them with criticism or teasing - either playfully or seriously. Common in social media comments and among friends in Spain.
