Oddly enough, my real trigger for the poll was because I didn't like it when another thread was derailed into a discussion of the word liseuse just because it was in the thread title, so I figured we could talk about it here and leave other threads to their actual topics.
While I personally don't care for the word, I wasn't worrying too much about it until I saw the thread degeneration. I never thought it was likely to become the mainstream English word (and don't care which words are used in other languages) because it appears too obviously coined and many people dislike it. I just don't make the connection between the word and the device so it doesn't work for me.
I have no problems with the idea of using a foreign word for my device, but I won't use it unless the word works for me, and this one doesn't.
