Internet Tourettes

A person with Internet Tourettes is characterized by an uncontrollable urge to blurt out random messages in the form of a comment, an image, a gif, or a video.
Whether or not these messages are appropriate in any sort of context is up to said person.

Generally, this term can be applied to a wide array of people, but in most cases, it can be boiled down to two distinct types:
1. A shitposter who replies in an exaggerated way to a post for the sake of comedy.
2. A crazy person who immediately derails an otherwise normal conversation with utter nonsense for no (obvious) reason.
1. "We can't ever have a normal group chat, because every time Tom posts anything serious, George comes in with his Internet Tourettes and spams shitposts that have no relation to the conversation."

2. "Whenever I post a cute cat picture on Facebook, my friend with Internet Tourettes just HAS to chime in with conspiracy theories about the moon landing."

Cap-Tourettes

When you are talking on some form of chat, (messenger, icq, talk, chatroom etc) and you accidentally hit the caps-lock key and don't notice before sending the message. (Caps in chat means that you are shouting)
Analogous to how someone with Tourette's syndrome will randomly yell (and often swear) in the middle of what they are saying.
Sally: Hey how are you?
Tom: I am good.
Tom: Have you heard about JAMES'S NEW CAR
Sally: Yeah, its not that big a deal.
Sally: Why are you yelling about it?
Tom: oops sorry Cap-Tourettes
Tom: my bad

Fangirl Tourette's

When a fangirl meets an actor/actress from a show where she is extremely active in the fandom and cannot control embarrassing and involuntary enthusiastic interjections like "I love you so much!" or "You're a god/goddess!" from popping into the conversation when meeting aforesaid actor. Inevitably uncomfortable for both the actor and the fan.
At Comic Con
Fandom chick 1: Where's Maggie?
Fandom chick 2: I think she's still in the bathroom crying.
Fandom chick 1: Aww poor thing...but it made David Duchovny really uncomfortable when she kept declaring her love and sobbing in front of him.
Fandom chick 2: I do feel bad for her. But she's starting to get a reputation. If she can't get control of that Fangirl Tourette's she's gonna get banned from future conventions.
