[LotR] Someone referred to the Uruk-Hai as half-orc, how accurate is that?

I was passing through Rohan with a caravan and I heard one of the merchants refer to Uruk-Hai as man and orc twisted together through despicable magics.  Now, *everyone* knows that Uruk-Hai are just orcs that were changed by the power Saruman granted them, right?  They're not any part human, are they?

Uruk-hai, in and of its own, simply means 'ork-folk', and is interchangeable with Uruk to describe any of the large black orcs first bred by Sauron in Mordor circa T.A. 2475. 

The Fighting Uruk-hai of Saruman, however, are the ones that have been causing Rohan such trouble of late. And these terrible creatures are indeed abominations formed by breeding Uruks and Dunlending women. 

However, not all half-orcs were Fighting Uruk-hai. Some were the squint-eyed, sallow-skinned half-orcs that stood as tall as men, yet possessed great vile and cunning, such as those that have been seen in Bree and parts west.
