I like saying liseuse like "Talouse" Lautrec. Partially, because I know very little of proper French pronounciation (sic), and because I love the name Talouse Lautrec.
This could be more tied to my scanty knowledge of the man, but his name seems like something that sound dirty, like the French are having us on about throwing a word like 'poop' or some blue phrase into everyday conversation, but I suspect it truly is innocous, like "Le Poisson! Le Poisson!"
That sounded so dirty in the Little Mermaid.
(Probably because of that suggestive chortle that Frenchmen make which I am loath to replicate via onomatopoeia. That, and who doesn't find a redheaded mermaid irresistible?)
