Coprolalia: The excessive and uncontrollable use of foul or obscene language, including words related to feces (bowel waste). Coprolalia is a typical symptom of Tourette syndrome, a condition that has its onset in childhood and is characterized by compulsive arm movements, facial tics, grunting, groaning and shouting. Aside from coprolalia, there is often echolalia, the involuntary parrot-like repetition (echoing) of a word or sentence just spoken by another person. Persons with Tourette syndrome do not usually curse out of anger or displeasure but out of uncontrollable compulsion. They cannot help themselves. (The disease is also called Gilles de la Tourette syndrome.) Coprolalia can upon occasion also be a symptom of schizophrenia, a severe psychiatric disorder of thought in which the sufferer loses touch with reality, withdraws from social activity and exhibits bizarre behavior. The schizophrenic may curse for no apparent reason. (There is no known relationship between Tourette syndrome and schizophrenia.) Undiagnosed victims of Tourette syndrome or schizophrenia are often subjected to public ridicule from persons within earshot of a coprolalia outburst. Observers believe the outburst is the result of a conscious and voluntary decision to swear. It is not. Medication is available to control the outbursts. Persons who swear excessively, repeatedly and deliberately -- that is, they swear because they want to --are not technically sufferers of coprolalia, although some writers may wish to apply the term loosely to them. "Coprolalia" is derived from the Greek words "kopros" (dung) and "lalein" (to babble). "Kopros" has also given us such English words as "coprolith," a hard lump of feces in the intestines, and "coprophobia" (an abnormal and persistent fear of feces).

I'm reposting this, in case you missed it. Tull, since you were graciously invited here by the host - even though you already were here under another name - why not reciprocate and invite one of our members to your site? I recommend Badeye. With him you'll get a man who knows everything, is never wrong, can post 100's of times each day, all the while running a multi-thousand dollar business employing three people plus his wife. It's a win-win for both of you. You'll get the brilliant, witty commentary of one of the internet's premier posters, while Badeye will be able to expand the vast number of fortunates hearing his message. You should consider it. Seriously.
He should go back to 4um where he has his "mommy" looking after him, since he finds so little to like about this site. More of that entitlement mentality where he believes that others should have to change to accommodate him.

I don't know why he isn't jumping at the opportunity to lure a big gun like BE to his site.
That's not me. I have a completely normal fear of feces. Persistent, but perfectly normal.
Gee, aba daba boyu, all I know is you follow my around the net, copy my posts into your tagline, and post to me without reason .... badeye
Me neither, and Badeye would have plenty of opportunities to call others anti- semetic. So it's definitely a win/win.

Pretty soon he'll be here bragging about how he does have an account there, but they can't figure out which one is him. Of course it's not difficult to recognize him anywhere but I suppose they could be too stupid to figure it out. I wish he'd leave this site. He's tedious.

This is just more duallie bonding rituals.
