Tourette syndrome, also known as Tourette’s syndrome, GTS, Tourette’s, TS, Tourette’s disorder, or Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome, is an inherited tic disorder characterized by multiple motor (physical) tics and at least one vocal tic. 

Experts believe it is closely linked to damage or abnormalities to the basal ganglia of the brain.

Tourette’s was once considered a rare and bizarre syndrome, most often associated with the exclamation of obscene words of profanity or socially inappropriate and derogatory remarks (coprolalia).

Characterized as: The person suffering from tourette is always manifesting some kind of on going body movements know as tic disorder, this could also be accompanied by the oratory (speaking of) vulgar words, foul utterances and a language of profanity. 

In this text, a tic is an unusual movement or sound over which the person may have little or no control. This may include eye blinking, coughing, throat clearing, sniffing, facial movements, head movements, or limb movements. 

A tic may also include the utterance of unusual sounds, which may include inappropriate and sometimes offensive words (verbal ticks). Contrary to popular belief.
