ghoti

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.
