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.

I'm pretty sure my friend knows that, but if this wasn't funny it certainly wouldn't have been funny if his ticks were SNAPS FINGERS, TILTS HEAD TILTS HEAD.
