I've never heard anyone use the -ish suffix in the ways you used as examples, OP. I think you're kind of grasping for examples to prove your outrage. It's not a big deal, clearly language evolves faster than your brain did.

NP. I have heard people use it, and it doesn't bother me.
Also, one word/ word fragment does not make a phrase.

I use "ish" all the time to describe a non-specified hour. Like "We will run errands and then return home around noon-ish."
Since I don't know exactly how long the errands will take, I don't want to say "noon" exactly--it might end up being as early as 11 or as late as 1 pm.

Sorry-ish!

My 9 yr old uses it all the time. Hungrish. Tiredish. I take it to mean sort of.

I think it's fine to denote something non-specific (noon-ish above is a good example).

I dislike when it's used as "shit." (E.g., "I hate that ish.")

You must have annoying friends. I have never heard anyone say things like this.

Agree - really annoying. Avoid speaking to these people.
