Wiki:
"Inbreeding is breeding between close relatives, whether plant or animal. If practiced repeatedly, it often leads to a reduction in genetic diversity, and the increased expression of negative recessive traits, resulting in inbreeding depression. This may result in inbred individuals exhibiting reduced health and fitness and lower levels of fertility."

I could best put it like this. Being inbred means that your Mother is your Father, and your Father is your favorite Uncle. It's like my daddy, who is also my favorite Uncle once told me, (QUOTE) "Bubba Sue Alice Bob, Don't take "NO" from any woman. If your own cusin ain't good enough fer ya, then Nobody is!" (END QUOTE)

If too many people marry their relatives, that's inbred.
The difficulty arises when genetic faults meet others, and you get a defective child.
