A condition where someone involuntarily says obscene words or foul language, often related to certain neurological disorders.
From Greek 'kopro-' meaning feces and 'lalia' meaning speech or talking. This medical term emerged in the 19th century to describe a symptom in Tourette's syndrome and other conditions.
Coprolalia is famously associated with Tourette's syndrome, but only about 10% of people with Tourette's actually have it—a huge misconception that shows how one symptom can define an entire condition in popular culture.
