And/or

I had it in my head that I'd take a photo while I was out running, today. Despite the dismal weather, I hoped I would find a shot that might be atmospheric and/or evocative. No such luck.

So, instead, you get a bunch of flowers, which sat just behind my laptop for most of the day.

I wonder whether there is a word in any language for "and/or". I can't think of one in English. (I am reminded though of the little robots that Alan Moore thought up called 'And/oroids'.)
