This may sound really weird but I do this all the time with almost no control. I randomly blurt out words like "Santa." No, I don't believe in Santa. I do this about 7 times every hour. It's almost uncontrollable. I always say it somebody else. I don't just say it when I'm alone. It's like I have an urge to say something. Does anyone else experience this? :?

this sort of happens to me too. when i was younger, i used to blurt out words like zebra, pickles, fishsticks, etc. now i have moved on to nonsense words and noises. i do it all the time, even when i am alone. it is comforting. it annoys other people, but on some level, i don't really care.

Yeah, that's exactly what I do. It's not always those to words, They're to many to list. I also like to make farting noises and other stuff. :wink: But, it comforts me too, for some odd reason.

It would ssem to be a non-profane form of coprolalia I think. I used to have this problem in which I'd reflexively blurt out the word "b***h", after my mother would clear her throat so aggravatingly, and excessively. But then I received an activator treatment on my neck, by a chiropractor, which has seemed to have eliminated it.

That's what I've been thinking, maybe it's coprolalia. I've neever really shouted out swears, though.

There are worse words, that you could be blurting out, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Yeah this is completely me. The random words are more because I might be remembering something (movie, song) in my head, rehearsing a what-if scene, or remembered a silly day and that was one of the key words to that memory. And then it will suddenly be a vocalization out of my face. Family pays me no mind anymore. But they do with the fart noises. "WHY do you do that? It's so rude!!" Well, I don't even know why I do it. I will look into this coprolalia business.

But I didn't really realize I was doing it so much until 1) reading this 2) no one else in my family does ANYTHING remotely similar. :lol:

Do you suppose immediately copying animal noises or phrases from commercials or random lines from a show counts too, or is that more like echolalia?

Cause I do that too.

I do this. I never payed much attention to it, though I always did think there was something... wrong about it.

I've seen somebody who does it in public, which is somewhat worse for him as he seems to say words like "penis." That's not a good way to avoid bullying.
