The 'Ghoti' word is an artificially constructed word used to display pronunciation irregularities.
You pronounce the 'gh' in 'rough' as 'f'
You pronounce the 'o' in 'women' as 'i'
You pronounce the 'ti' in 'nation' as 'sh'
Put those together, and you write 'ghoti' but pronounce it as 'fish'. It is not a 'real' word as such and the 'gh' as 'f' does not appear at the beginning of any real word either. However another construct similar to the above is 'Ghoughpteighbteau', pronounced 'Potato'.
