The word "Ghoti" can either be pronounced like "fish," or it can have no pronunciation at all.

So, what you’re saying is you’ve never listened to Ghoti Hook (pronounced “Goh-Tea”) before? And yes their name is totally playing off the phonetic pronunciation making it “fish hook”.

“However, linguists have pointed out that the location of the letters in the constructed word is inconsistent with how those letters would be pronounced in those placements, and that the expected pronunciation in English would be ‘goaty’.” Thank you, Wikipedia.
