| Summary: | tished p ppl I once heard a chap from Bay Bulls look at a slightly iced over pond and say it was just "tissed". When I asked him about it he said that they used to use the expression when they were children living on Fogo Island. He claimed that the word "tissed" (pronounced "tished") came from the word "tissue", since tissues are so thin, just like thin ice. Heard from John Delaney, teacher, aged 24, of Bay Bulls, who couldn't remember when he first heard this expression. Used I Used I Used I CATCH (OVER), SISH partially cited under C 68-19
