ghoti

[jtdaddy]

gh = f sound , o=i sound ( women), ti = sh sound ( function)
so there you have it, ghoti=fish

ghoti head !!

 

[Rat Rod]

I'm confused. :?

 

[tomb]

I used to listen to Ghoti Hook...
Inspired by them???

 

[jtdaddy]

No,
Just thought it was ironic that we could make the word fish from those letters. Apparently there are many other examples like that one.

 

[CCR]

so the GH = f sound (like in the word "rough")

:? Im a straight A highschool student i still dont get the ...... name.. Im with steve. :roll: OH WELL LETS SEE SOME BIKE BUILDING MR.FISHHEAD.

 

[tomb]

let me try to explain again
if you say the word "enouGH" the "gh" sounds like an "f"
if you say "wOmen", the "o" sounds like an "i"
and words like "frustraTIon" the "ti" sounds like "sh"

heres a ghoti hook song, and its fitting becuase the song is about bikes!

"There's just one thing that I
love more than anything.
I hold it so near to my heart.
It has just one gear and a pair
of blue training wheels,
A headlight to see in the dark.
I like my bike.
It's not like other bikes.
It has pinwheels and a purple banana seat,
Loud cards in the spokes as they bend.
It has a big horn that I honk when you're in my way,
So I don't run over my friends.
I like my bike.
It's not like other bikes.
I ride my bike to the girl that I like,
And she looks at me and my bike.
A tear fills her eye as she's
filled with great pride,
When I ask her to take a ride.
Me and my girl, we ride all over town on it.
My guide is the street and the sun.
We stop for a shake--I pretend we'll share all of it,
When I hit the eject button.
I like my bike.
It's not like other bikes"
