I used that one at college......to explain my contant swearing whilst on work experience. I never actually said 'Tourette's', but I'm sure they just assumed.

i jokingly told one of the guys in the office down the corridorthat i had a rare form of tourette's that cause me to swear uncontrollably when angered and/or annoyed.
i said it in a very joking way, and he chuckled afterwards. the next day, he turned up with loads of leaflets about my 'condition' and offered to help me get some medical assistance to 'cure my ailment'
