First of all Sliver your friend needs to realize that only about .0001% of people with tourettes shout out dirty words like that.

In reality it is actually just a tick that comes thru frequently. They can vary quite greatly. One of the greatest fallacies in our society when talking about disabilities is the CONSTANT jokes about tourettes having anything to do with yelling out stuff like "vagina" or "donkey raping sh** eater".

If anyone has seen that South Park with the girl that tilts her head and snaps her fingers , that is a more realistic interpretation of Tourrettes than 99% of society views Tourettes as.

That was a great episode BTW.
