Me: Here is a cat unicorn stuffie. 4-year-old: I thought unicorns were horses. Me: Well, in Latin, it just means “one horn” so technically anything with one corn can be a unicorn. Husband: <sigh>
Yes. Good parenting!
This is also why "unicorn" is in the King James Bible. In other versions, the translator's guess is a rhinoceros
Even the mostly-horse ones are part goat, after all.
No lies detected
I suggest adapting the spelling to "unichorn."
