-ish

Formerly known as a suffix used in words, -ish is now added to many words and verbs in parts of sentences or just used by itself to express something that is contradictory in nature to the preceeding sentence.

"That kid is completely straight" (when the person is very blatantly gay)

"...ish" (used to contradict that sentence and express the idea that he is, in fact, gay)

Maybe/maybe not, not really sure, a little bit perhaps. Very vague. Sometimes used as a way of allaying questioning, or if just having a really monosyllabic day.

The ish

Slang for "the shit." Possibly derived from censored music where the word "shit" was reversed and sounds like "ish." Now, people often self-censor and use the word "ish" in conversations where traditional cursing is frowned upon.

This new song is the ish, son.
That catch in the 4th quarter was the ish.
Your Mom's Sour Diesel wax is the ish, yo!
