Maybe not, although, hopefully you wouldn't have made the same elementary logical errors.
'Liseuse' is a foreign word which is sometimes used to describe something for which we do not have an agreed word yet in the English language. It therefore has some legitimacy as a word where 'bob' and 'ted' don't.
I appreciate that you don't like the word, but basing your argument on a fallacy doesn't help your cause.
