uni

Short for unisuit, a one piece spandex thing worn mostly by rowers. It is basically what you would get if you took a pair of spandex shorts and joined it to a (spandex) tank-top at the waist. Rowers/coxswains racing uniforms are almost exclusively unis, however they are also worn for training. Often racing unis are printed in a similar pattern to the team in question's oars, or at least in the same colors. Usually the shorts part is longer than normal spandex, like mid thigh, so they give you seriously annoying tan lines because they are hard to hide. Dress shopping is seriously annoying with a uni-tan. They also make it hard to pee.
