  • Coprolalia has been portrayed in many TV shows, movies and stand-up routines for decades. The seemingly taboo nature of these tics has made it easy material for comedy. This has created a big misunderstand, that everyone with Tourette swears. Approximately 10% of sufferers do.
  • The earliest written account of what could be considered copropraxia comes from a book called Malleus Maleficarum (also known as the Hammer of Witches). The book was written in the year 1487.
