Tourette Syndrome is an inherited, neurological disorder characterized by repeated and involuntary body movements (tics) and uncontrollable vocal sounds.
In a minority of cases, the vocalizations can include socially inappropriate words and phrases -- called coprolalia. These outbursts are neither intentional nor purposeful. Involuntary symptoms can include eye blinking, repeated throat clearing or sniffing, arm thrusting, kicking movements, shoulder shrugging or jumping.
These and other symptoms typically appear before the age of 18 and the condition occurs in all ethnic groups with males affected 3 to 4 times more often than females. Although the symptoms of TS vary from person to person and range from very mild to severe, the majority of cases fall into the mild category. Associated conditions can include attentional problems, impulsiveness and learning disabilities.

Get the dickie-do syndrome mug.That awful feeling you get after you bust your load. In a matter of seconds, your whole world of fantasies fades away and that porn you were watching, or that girl you were doing suddenly becomes revolting. You wonder what the hell you were thinking, and you bask in your depression until the syndrome resides. PBS usually lasts for up to 30 minutes.
Example 1:
Guy: GUAHHHH! *busts*
*sits there while the porno continues on*
Guy: WTF was I thinking, this post-bust syndrome is AWFUL!
*uses free hand to awkwardly move the mouse and close the porno*
Example 2:
Guy: GUAHHHHH! *busts*
Girl: Wanna cuddle babe?
Guy: Hell no, get out of my sight.

Get the Same Thought Syndrome mug.A medical condition where a moronic person has their Cranium lodged/inserted through their own Rectal cavity. The Cranium can get as far as the end of the Duodenum, which has been cited in a number of cases. Often, the condition is rendered temporarily, but sometimes the disorder can be lifelong and permanent. When treated, the patient may need the Perineum sutured from the initial Cranial penetration of the Rectal orifice.
Many people with Cranial Rectal Syndrome live their lives oblivious to the fact that they have the condition. Early prevention is vital. Talk to your doctor today if you think you may present any symptoms CRS.

Get the Cranial Rectal Syndrome mug.The secret little things we do in life when we think others aren't looking or when our curiosity is aroused by a sign that is posted telling us not to do something. Inspired by the corridor that you walk down for 20 years without touching the walls. Then one day you smell fresh paint and the corridor has been roped off with signs that say "Don't Touch - Wet Paint." An overwhelming urge comes over us to touch the wall. (See Briar Patch Effect)
The family was at the zoo and one of the boys saw a sign that said "Do Not Feed the Animals." He immediately walked to a concession kiosk and bought a bag of peanuts to feed the monkeys. He was inspired by the Wet Paint Syndrome into doing something he shouldn't be doing.
