I put a lot of thought into Tourettes and Corprolalia after I had gotten done listening to one of my favorite comedians. Now, what many people may not know is that Tourettes doesn't mean that you have Corprolalia. "Corprolalia is involuntary swearing or the involuntary utterance of obscene words or socially inappropriate and derogatory remarks" (Wikipedia).
What makes me wonder is; who decides what obscene words or socially inappropriate remarks are? Is there a committee for this and if so where are they located? Why haven't I ever heard of them?
That is a tangent however, because the real thing that I was thinking about was politeness. Do you wonder if there is someone out there in the world who has a case of polite Tourettes/Corprolalia? Someone who just spews random compliments?
Polite Tourettes Person- "Beautiful skirt!"
Girl wearing skirt- "Why thank you."
P.T.P- "I am sorry. I have a disease."
Girl wearing skirt- "Oh don't be sorry. That was so kind."
Think of how much good this person could do. People around them would not have confidence issues at all. People in this day and age forget that a simple compliment can change someones day. You can't be an effective leader without being positive and congratulating your team/squad/party/group of individuals. You can change someones life just by noticing them, and a person with polite Tourettes would be very helpful.
So, next time you see a sweet hat, cool (orange) shoes, or an intriguing shirt don't be afraid to tell the person what you think. And, to all of you reading this....sweet haircut =P
Haha great one Max, however my haircut was long before this so thanks for noticing now. but at the same time.. would've been better in person lol
