Any guesses?

I'm gonna guess either goatee or goatie.

Now, if you start with "gh" as in "tough"...

Aim for the exit hole

Wasbee, this could be taken out of context...

Phil,now that reminds me of a joke.American business man goes to Japan,1st night there he picks up a hooker + takes her to bed;rolls her on her stomach + proceeds to do the drill while she with anguished screams keeps saying "Taichido,Taichido." Boo Hoo,etc. Well he is thinking himself quite the manly man,surely she meant magnificent performance. Next day he meets his Japanese business member on the golf links + the Jap does a hole in one. The American feels he should give praise in the others language so he say's "Taishido,Taishido!" The jap looks at him and says "What do you mean,wrong hole?"

Norman Conquest: I heard she was on her back. And the next day, when he was with his Japanese friend, the friend said, "What you mean, One hole higher?"

Now to add to start of this item:
"ti" as in "tion" on the end of many words.

Fish. It's been spelled that way for over 150 years.

Great! But (I ask VERY facetiously...note the "ti" in that last word) how do you get the "I" out of "O"? This for those that never heard this themantics before?

Prof, the "o" is pronounced as it is in the word "women"...

Fish

Yeah Doubless, I should have been clearer in my message that I was hoping someone else (as you did) would guess it.

you guys are way past me on this one...

This is actually pretty cool.
GH as pronounced in tough
O as pronounced in women
TI as pronounced in station
GHOTI = FISH

And a big hat tip to those who said "fish" and especially for the phonetic description!!!!

let's just follow my Jag out to the Oregon Coast and catch a few. A nice 50+ pound Ling Cod on the grill with some dark beer and a Cuban brought back from a run up past the Canadian border should take care of about ten of us...
