What does 'lisp' mean in this sentence? Hi, What does 'lisp' mean in this sentence? It isn't the speech habit, isn't it? "you have awakened through fluttering lids to a rush and a gush and a toe-curling scalp- snapping jolt of feeling from an inside deeper than you knew you had, spasms of a deep sweet hurt, the streetlights through your window blinds cracking into sharp stars against the black bedroom ceiling, and on you a dense white jam that lisps between legs, trickles and sticks, cools on you, hardens and clears until there is nothing but gnarled knots of pale solid animal hair in the morning shower, and in the wet tangle a clean sweet smell you can't believe comes from anything you made inside you."

Forever Overhead by David Foster Wallace This writer uses allot of words in an attempt to describe a youth's 13th birthday. I can not see a reason for the word "lisps" in this sentence. For him perhaps there was a though as he wrote it, but for me as the reader I see no place for this word in this sentence.

The writer is using the word metaphorically to imply something concealed or confidential.
