Silly Question

[sarab]

Okay, completely off topic, but I am at a loss (and feeling kind of stupid)!

My son has to complete a summer packet of homework for first grade. We have been working on it and today we are stumped on words that rhyme with fish. We need 3 words, but can only come up with dish and wish. We have used the Internet and a dictionary, but are coming up with nothing! Any suggestions????

Thanks!

How about nebbish? I bet it'd totally freak out your son's teacher.........:7

That's a hard one!

How about:
Splish (as in 'splish-splash')
Mish (as in 'mish-mosh')
Shish(as in 'shish-kabob')
Ish (synonym for 'yuk'!)
Gish (as in Lillian or Annabeth)
Tish (as in girl's first name)

Knish! Delish! (not sure if that's a legit word)

I knew I could count on you ladies! A friend of mine is a kindergarten teacher and she could not think of any either! First grade work.....?....I don't think so!

Okay, (another stupid question), Laura, wth is nebbish?

Nebbish is a Yiddish word for a person who's pathetic or goofy.

Not a stupid question at all--I can't imagine why anyone who isn't Jewish would actually know what it means. But I'd love to see the expression on your teacher's face when she figures it out. }(
