Coprolalia
From WikiLectures
Coprolalia is the compulsive use of obscene, indecent words.[1]
The term coprolalia comes from the Greek κόπρος (kopros), which is excrement and λαλιά (lalia), which means I say.[2]
According to the Tourette Syndrome Association, less than 15% of patients with Tourette syndrome have coprolalia, but it tends to get more attention than other symptoms of the disorder.
