  We propose a hybridization phenomenology to describe the pseudogap state of
the underdoped cuprates. We show how a momentum independent pseudogap opens
asymmetrically from the Fermi-surface but symmetric to the zeroes of the
hybridized bonding dispersion, which results in false d-wave characteristics of
the pseudogap at the Fermi level. By comparing against a d-wave form factor we
illustrate the difficulty in identifying a momentum independent order in
momentum averaged quantities such as the electronic Raman response. We identify
a suppression in the single-particle density of states which produces a hump
feature which should be observable experimentally in tunnelling $dI/dV$ spectra
and distinguishes the s-wave and d-wave ordering scenarios.
