Word: ghoti Part of Speech: noun Etymology: A jocular spelling of fish (/fɪʃ/) used to illustrate irregularities in English spelling: * gh, /f/ as in rough, /ɹʌf/; * o, /ɪ/ as in women, /ˈwɪm.ɪn/; and * ti, /ʃ/ as in nation, /ˈneɪ̯.ʃən/. Though frequently reported to be a coinage of George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950), this term dates back to at least 1855. Although the goal of the word is to highlight the irregularities of the English orthography, it deliberately exaggerates them, as ⟨gh⟩ is /f/ only word-finally and ⟨ti⟩ is /ʃ/ only before a vowel. Pronunciation: /fɪʃ/, /fəʃ/, /ˈɡəʊ̯.tiː/, /ˈɡoʊ̯.ti/, /ˈɡəʉ̯.tiː/ 1. A constructed word said to be an alternative spelling of fish.

Example: Labelled with distinct identities, ghotis are the original inhabitants of West Bengal, and bangals are those who have migrated from Bangladesh. The bangals have been stereotyped as shrewd, opportunistic, greedy, parochial, and considered good enough only to become cooks or sweet-makers. The ghotis consider themselves superior to bangals.
