ghoti is what you write down to confuse someone. Pronounced 'fish', it utilises the 'gh' from 'cough', the 'o' from 'women' and the 'ti' from 'action' to become a confusing little bugger. If you are writing to a posh person, be sure to start a conversation about fish, and say 'ghoti' several times. It means fish, too.
Dear Fishmongers,
The ghoti you sell is weird and unhygenic! That ghoti made me sick twice. I hate your ghoti!

This word is pronounced 'fish' through manipulation of atypical linguistic rules.
It uses the gh from laugh, the o from women and the ti from nation.
Ghoti is a bastard word that only has application in written context, and is primarily used by people trying to be smartasses.

The correct spelling of the word 'fish'

You take the 'gh' in trough

the 'o' in women

and the 'ti' in action

ghoti=fish
You can give a man ghoti and feed him for the day, or teach a man to ghoti and he will eat for the rest of his life.

a word used to make fun of english spelling.

"gh" sometimes makes a /f/ sound as in tough
"o" sometimes makes a /ɪ/ sound as in women
"ti" sometimes make a /ʃ/ sound as in nation

put it all together and ghoti is pronounced /fɪʃ/.

what people don't realize is that this doesn't even make sense with english's normal phonotactic rules. "gh" is never /f/ word-initially and "ti" is never /ʃ/ without a vowel after it. so this doesn't work.
person 1: ghoti is pronounced fish english spelling bad hurhur
person 2: that's not how english spelling works.

Gmotional 

Gemotional (n) The emotional state reached after ingesting one of three party drugs, GHB, BDO or GBL resulting in the deconstruction of personal boundaries and Social Norms. When sober these two act as checks and balances to speaking what is really on your mind. It is quite common to profess love, engage in risky behavior before during and after sex.

Gmotionality is especially common among homosexual men. Collectively these three recreational drugs are called G or Water because of the clear appearance and only slightly higher viscosity than water often stored in water bottles
Hey, I'm sorry about what I said last night,

Relax, no one is going to hold you accountable. You were definitely Gmotional. I thought you were going to start crying when I refused to marry you.
