I am amused by the phrase 'unique group'. If unique, then by definition not a group. If they meant 'small group' why didn't they say so. Fancy word syndrome strikes again.
I have a Melb Uni tshirt with 'minimise sesquipedalian circumlocutions' written across the front. I cherish it.

'minimise sesquipedalian circumlocutions'

I want one. A quick google search revealed that I can buy many tshirts with just the word sesquipedalian on it in a variety of fonts but not that tshirt :( can you still get them or no?

It was from the early 2000s. Doubt if MelbUni has them anymore. I got it from their shop on campus, even though I wasn't a student.
