How to pronounce
Coprolalia in English
Coprolalia is a pathological compulsion that drives the sufferer to use an obscene or foul language. This uncontainable impulse can be one of the symptoms of Tourette's syndrome, a neurological disorder that causes sudden involuntary movements and unintentional outbursts of swearing.
Coprolalia is derived from the fusion of two Greek words: cópros, meaning excrement, and lalìa, meaning chattering, talking.
The correct pronunciation of coprolalia is coh-PROH-ley-lee-ah
