A couple of months ago we talked about "ish" as a word in itself to
meaning "somethingish".

Here's a live example I just found. It's in Private Eye, No 1253 (8 Jan
2010):

"Good news. Well, ish. The government has given ...." and it goes on
to describe how a lot of money is being spent on a children's service,
but not all of it is going to the right places.
