Words that end in "-ish" but aren't adjectives are funny because they sound like they should be adjectives. (For example: can you describe a mediocre surfer as "radish"?)

The humor doesn't work for monosyllabic words, like fish, because they don't sound like adjectives. So no fish. No squish, either.

My post was almost simultaneously with sionnach's, so it's not a comment on his.

What about swish and squish?
