Basically a somewhat setting-specific term for scientifically-produced animal-human hybrids, shortened off "recombinant"; it was a pretty common 'technical term' used in 90's furry fiction and as such you'd see it used some on FurryMUCK, etc, sometimes. I actually know someone there who still has it in their species field.

I get the impression that in the early days, lots of folks had their own terminology they'd use; in the ensuing wiki crawl from there I was reminded that Ken Sample originally termed his as "Exotics" for instance.
