    Probably someone who made fun of someone like me who has a lisp. Because I got teased so much in grade school, I taught myself how to talk without it being noticed so much.

    It's an old word; it comes from Germanic and Nordic roots. Here's what the etymology book says:

    'late O.E. awlyspian, from wlisp (adj.) "lisping," probably of imitative origin (cf. M.Du., O.H.G. lispen, Dan. læspe, Swed. läspa). The noun is first attested 1625.'
