Don't try wriggling out with the help of the Grimm Brothers (why are they always called the Brothers Grimm, like the BeeGees like?  rubschin:)

If only we knew an expert in Literature we could ask them  whistle: whistle:

I see nothing odd about that whatsoever.

As previously stated, you are ideally placed to carry it off.

I suggest you avoid shouting 'Fudge' when demonstrating profanities in Tourettes.

Why do people with Tourette's always scream obscenities rather than, "Back off, you cad" or "WHat a chump." Only asking

Tourettes symptoms includes physical tics and vocalisations. Normally these vocalisations include grunting, throat clearing, shouting and barking.  While its not as common as it is made out to be, the verbal tics may also be expressed as coprolalia (the involuntary use of obscene words or socially inappropriate words and phrases). That is basically down to societal influence, if Nick suddenly became an obscene word then they would start using it as well.

The universe is run by the complex interweaving of three elements. Energy, matter, and enlightened self-interest.

Fry interviewed a woman on his "Planet Word" prog with Tourette's; in addition to plenty of "f*cks" she also used "biscuit" and even "happy christmas"
