We've seen it before, I suspect well I have. It's a bit of a red herring.

[Gizmonster]

To those who haven't sussed it - take a look at the unusual pronunciation of the first 3 words, then apply them bits to help you pronounce ghoti. How would you spell ghoti phonetically ??

[B00]

Well that's made it all crystal clear Giz....

[Jeza]

As clear as mud you mean Boo.

[Gizmonster]

How is the "gh" pronounced in "enough" ??
How is the ""o" pronounced in "women" ??
How is the "ti" pronounced in "nation" ??
...... now put them all together and what do you get ??

[Tilly2]

The gh is pronounced like 'f' as in enouF .............F
The o is pronounced like 'i' as in wimen................I
The ti is pronounced like 'sh' as in nashon............SH

[B00]
