Lesson

If you ever get asked a question that your not entirely sure of what the answer is, then just add the "ish" phrase at the end of a single word made for a response.  This is also a good thing to do if you don't feel like coming up with a huge explanation or response to a question. 

 For Example:

    Question:
     --------------------------
        So how was your day?   

    Answer:     
    --------------------------
        It was okay'ish.  

  Deeper Meaning:

This is not proper English but could be refereed to as a type of slang for random simple questions like this that you get every single day.  Thanks for reading!!
