Refers to the phenomenon of posting random, usually meaningless, status updates multiple times daily. Often comes via the blackberry or iPhone. Clutters up the newsfeed. The sufferers of tourettes are known to post many times an hour. Likely the reason for the 'hide' feature.
Libby's got the facebook tourettes again and hit a record for 15 useless status updates on the newsfeed.

Apr 27 Word of the Day
A horoscope so bad that it strikes fear into the heart of the reader, rendering them unable take action or make a decision on anything or to even leave the house. This is caused by a paralyzing fear that those actions or decisions may cause the predictions to come true.
After reading "There is a lot of uncertainty around financial transactions and investments right now, and the wrong decision could result in dire consequences" in his daily Horrorscope, Edward climbed back into bed, pulled the sheets over his head and remained there for the rest of the day.
Edward only had enough gas in his car to get to the gas station but was not sure if he had enough money in his account to pay for gas. His cell phone service had been cut off because his payments were in arrears, and since the only way he could be sure he had enough money (to pay for gas) would be to call the bank, he felt it best to hide in bed and hope his horoscope for tomorrow was more positive.

A moment in which you have no control over what you say on the social-networking site Facebook. Generally, this indescretion is only for a moment- just long enough to say something stupid on a friend's wall. Or, if you're an idiot with no sense of shame, these Facebook Tourette's "attacks" may last for hours, even days, on end. These attacks are not limited to Facebook, and may happen on any site where users can comment or write statements.
I wasn't going to say that on her wall, but then Facebook Tourette's kicked in and I couldn't help myself.

An increasingly common condition already afflicting hundreds of thousands worldwide, Facebook Tourette’s renders its victims incapable of discerning the appropriateness of public posts on Facebook. Victims feel compelled to post every detail of the minutia of their lives on the social networking site for everyone to read. In addition, they feel as though they are required to respond to the posts of others, no matter how mundane their responses may be.
If left untreated, Facebook Tourette’s can eventually morph into a full-blown version, whereby its victims feel obliged to share private details about their lives, leading to a host of potentially mortifying revelations shared freely with the entire world.

When someone gets so pissed off that they forget that their parents/teachers/bosses can see what they say and go on a swearing binge that usually takes place in comment threads on a wall post or status. At its worst, Facebook Tourette's dissolves into a shapeless, embarrassing deluge of profanity that lacks any semblance of grammar.
