Well, we'd been calling the BBEG a "Lick" in a campaign until somebody looked it up in the dictionary and said that it meant corpse in some language(French, I think)

Definitely not French. We have "corps" (passed in English as "corpse" but actually means "body", and is thus not restricted to dead things), "cadavre" (passed in English as cadaver), restes (remnants), "dépouille" (which, for animals, is also used to mean just their skin), but not lich.

Incidentally, it's "liche" (lish) in French, and has no other meaning except for some fish, the fish of the genera "lichia" in the Carangidae family (e.g., the leerfish, lichia amia).
