I own all of these hats except the fedora, although it's been a while since I've worn some of them, so I gave myself .5 for this question.

You never heard of a liseuse? It's the modern generic name for an ebook reader - I thought everyone knew that

Further demonstrating my geekiness, I googled (using "Google" as a verb should count on the test, IMHO) and found it is an actual word in French. How is it pronounced around here? Does it rhyme with tissue?

yep, it's the french word for "dedicated reading device". some people on mobileread have adopted it because it provides a good, unambiguous word for the device, and because they like the way it sounds.
