Explanation
WARNING: The following section contains factual information that is serious, real, and straightforward. Viewer discretion is advised. Proceed at your own risk.
This unusual rendering of "potato chips" is based on ghoti, which as you may know, is pronounced "fish" (/fɪʃ/). It is made of the following letter clusters:
- gh - pronounced /p/ in "hiccough", a rare spelling of "hiccup".
- ough - pronounced /oʊ/ or /əʊ/ in words like "dough" and "though". The digraph ⟨gh⟩ used to be pronounced /x/, but now it isn't.
- pt - pronounced /t/ in words like "ptomaine" and "pterodactyl". These words are from Greek roots via French, where the digraph is pronounced /pt/. This pronunciation was simplified to /t/ in English.
- eigh - pronounced /eɪ/ in words like "eight" and "weigh". The digraph ⟨gh⟩ used to be pronounced /x/, but now it isn't.
- bt - pronounced /t/ in words like "doubt" and "debt". These words are from Latin roots via French and are spelled with ⟨b⟩ to reflect their Latin origin.
- eau - pronounced /oʊ/ or /əʊ/ in words like "nouveau" and "flambeau". These words are from French.
- tch - pronounced /tʃ/ in words like "catch" and "itch".
- o - pronounced /ɪ/ in "women".
- gh - pronounced /p/ in "hiccough", a rare spelling of "hiccup".
- s - pronounced /s/ in many words. I guess no one found a wacky spelling for this one. That's a shame.
