Hybridize

Word created by chemists for chemists and to make non-chemists question its existence as a word.

Chemist "The 's' and 'p' orbitals then hybridize."

Non-chemist "Did you just make that word up?"

Chemist "Orbitals?"

Non-chemist "No hybridize"

Chemist "Ha good one everyone knows what that means"
