Wouldn't that have been speech rethapy?


An old friend of mine never mastered the "th" sound. (Blonde, female, youngest child ... nevermind, move along ...).

Nevertheless, she has a PhD. Which she got by writing a thesis, or in her case, a fesis. Now the plural of thesis is theses (sounds "theess-ees"). So, when we took her out to dinner to celebrate her finishing her "fesis" and asked her what she was going to do next, she tried to reply "a couple of my friends have asked me to read their theses over summer".



Maybe it is a new form of fortune telling or something.
