The "shish" part of the phrase means "skewer." The "kebab" (or kebob, kabab, etc.) part of the phrase means "roasted meat." In many places in the world, the "shish" has been dropped entirely and the dish is just known as "kebab" although still cooked on skewers over open heat. A shish-kebab in the United States is usually pieces of meat cut into 2" cubes and pushed onto a skewer with various vegetables (mushrooms, onion, peppers, tomatoes), and grilled. In England, a kabab is ground meat (lamb, beef) formed around a stick or skewer and grilled. Either way, with a dipping sauce and fresh chips, it's a treat.

Skewers is a long thin metal or wooden stick that is used to make shish kebabs. Shish kabobs are made of meat, onion, pepper and potatoes and they are all placed on the same skewer and grilled on a barbeque. Food preparation done this way is very tasty.
