What's a hybrid? A mix between a mountain bike and road bike?

You'll also hear it called a Comfort bike becuase they tend to have suspension on at least the front forks and perhaps the seat post. They have a more upright position so you aren't streacthed out to the handlebars. They tend to have smother fatter tires than roadies but not near as nobby or fat as mountain bikes.

Most seem to be like that but mine (I posted a pic in the thread above) is much more road oriented, skinny ass tires, no suspension etc. Just sits a bit more upright then a road bike and has flat bars rather than drop bars. It sucks, for example, on almost any surface that isn't paved/smooth.
