Ghoughphtheightteeau

Everyone knows that Ghoughphtheightteeau is another way to spell Potato but what was the original intentional misspelling by G.B. Shaw?

I believe it was:
GH as in enouGH,
O as in wOmen (plural)
TI as in exhibiTIon

Which means that GHOTI spells fish is *pronounced* like "fish" :-)
[Thanks for the correction :-)]
