Oh, I'm for it. The juxtapositions here promise to be quality divertissement: how many other pages on the internet glide effotlessly from pomato to poinsetter in a few beats?

@bilbo:

I'm trying to find homes for new words on existing lists, as much as possible, to keep my list o' lists from getting completely out of hand.

I added lemato and grapple, based on the link you provided. But graisins don't seem to qualify, as they are not actually hybrids.

I sense criteria slippage.

Great list! I had no idea grapefruit was a hybrid.

Good list idea! For his own amusement, my father grafted a tomato onto a potato and told his nephew that it was a new hybrid. Mean daddy. ;-)
