A "ghoti"? What in Heaven's Holy Name is a "ghoti"?
Here's a picture of one, just after after it was caught with a ghotiing rod.
Be careful to pronounce the name of that animal very carefully...
"gh" as in "tough."
"o" as in "women."
"ti" as in "premonition."
Ghoti!

I'm not 'biting'.

I'm so embarrassed.
Oh, come on, Tom! It's a linguistics joke, making fun of English!
