It’s been done to death, but here it is again.
Someone (though probably not the playwright George Bernard Shaw, who wrote Pygmalion, which later became a musical named My Fair Lady) joked that the word ‘fish’ can be spelled ‘ghoti’.
- Take the ‘gh’ from ‘laugh’
- Add the ‘o’ from ‘women’
- Add the ‘ti’ from ‘nation’
And you get ‘ghoti’, pronounced ‘fish’.
More details at the wikipedia page for ‘ghoti’.
