#mongrelizing

1. To mix or blend disparate elements or ideas in a manner that results in a confused, sticky, or chaotic amalgamation. Often used to describe the process of combining things that do not naturally fit together, resulting in a muddled or mongrelized outcome. 2. To engage in an effort to resolve or untangle a complex situation or problem by applying clumsy, ineffectual methods that only serve to further complicate the issue.
