After looking at the linked to papers, I'm assuming this is not a joke, and he is not putting down (making fun) of the Amplituhedron, nor making up the Unitarihedron (just abstracting his work with a media-friendly name to itit).
What he is joking about is simply that mathematicians should named their work as a (insert-something-here)-hedron, as that would cause the media to pick it up and report on it.

I don't quite get it.

Is this correct?
I don't know either, what a brick. I really hate expressions where you need context to understand it's intentions, or die stupid.
He could have given context but prefered being condescending.
