minus-square@MonkeyBusiness@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglish2•edit-26 months agoThanks! I thought ghoti was some sort of Indian food and was using that as a hint to to figure out the first word.

Hint The “gh” in “hiccough” The “ough” in “doughnut” The “phth” in “phthisis” The “eigh” in “neighbour” The “tte” in “gazette” The “eau” in “plateau” https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ghoughphtheightteeau
