Bob,

It looks like we have a new buzzword. Anything "hybrid" sounds good. It's like what happened with the word "engineer".

Alternatively, the word "hybrid" is not principally bound to our favourite cars. I remember my dad buying hybrid corn seeds back in the early 1990s. Before cross-breeding was common, "hybrid" was used in the scientific community. According the internet, which is always to be trusted,

In modern English, a hybrid is the offspring of two different species but it derives from
a Latin term with a much more specific usage. In ancient Rome, the word hibrida (or
ibrida) meant "the offspring of a tame sow and a wild boar".

Okay. So I'm going to engineer a hybrid dinner tonight, part spaghetti, part salad, no boar.

Cheers,
Kathie
