Thanks, all. This thread just gave me my morning giggles, and I'm sure today will be a good day because it started with a laugh.

I rather enjoyed these points:
1) Whoever was posting those lame "memegenerator.net" images. Talk about irony. Those are all the failed attempts at forcing memes on 4chan based on the Advice Dog meme. Much like the failed attempts at forcing "liseuse" into the English language.
2) The idea that those evil anti-"liseuse" people are starting a campaign against the word (get this--) in a thread that's starting a campaign to force the word on the unsuspecting public. Nice.
3) That dislike for the word is somehow xenophobic. This made me laugh out loud.

And on that note, I'll leave you with actual word xenophobia from The Simpsons, and go back to the Kindle forums where I belong:

Homer: Hmm. I wonder why he's so eager to go to the garage?
Moe: The "garage"? Hey fellas, the "gay-razh"! Well, ooh la di da, Mr. French Man.
Homer: Well what do you call it?
Moe: A car hole!
