Apparently there are only 3 words in the english disctionary that end in 'shion'. Cushion & Fashion are 2 of them, does anyone know the other?
Just in case you are wondering I don't know the answer !!

The usual answer is hushion, a rather unusual Scots dialect word for a footless stocking (a sort of leg-warmer).
A rather better-known Scots word is fushion, meaning `spirit, energy, gumption' or (in referring to food) `wholesomeness'.
Neither word is in standard use outside Scotland.
The complete Oxford English Dictionary also lists the word parishion meaning the same as `parishioner' (a member or inhabitant of a parish). However, this word died out in the 16th century without ever settling into a consistent spelling.

The complete Oxford English Dictionary lists
Parishion, meaning the same as parishioner(member of a parish)
This term died out in the 16th century.
There are also two in Scottish.
Hushion- a footless stocking(leg warmer)
Fushion- spirit, energy, gumption and in referring to food wholesomeness.
Neither is in standard use outside of Scotland.

Parishion - a member of a parish

Cushion and fashion are red herrings. You actually made a statement saying. There are apparently 3 words in the english language, which is correct, the three words are "the english language"
