It’s not a lisp. It’s a sibilant S.

Thanks, you made me learn a new word: 1sib·i·lant adj \ˈsi-bə-lənt\ : having, containing, or producing the sound of or a sound resembling that of the s or the sh in sash
Examples of SIBILANT: the sibilant hiss of a snake Origin of SIBILANT Latin sibilant-, sibilans, present participle of sibilare to hiss, whistle, of imitative origin I still think he's a fairy boy but the hissing of a serpent fits him.
