What causes it then?

People can only repeat what they hear and learn, and that includes Tourettes sufferers. The shouting of obscenities is a very rare, but often misunderstood, symptom. Less than 10 percent of TS patients ever display this symptom and it is not a requirement for a diagnosis.
Sometimes TS patients do shout "normal" words. I personally think that that is a sign of OCD and a need to hear a certain sound spoken aloud.
I hope this helps and thanks for asking in such a polite manner.

They don't always shout words. The most common symptoms are barks, clicks and twitches. Nonsense syllables may be said by these people.
Such people do not normally receive treatment unless it is severe.
A much rarer form is the one where inappropriate words are said. This form usually gets treatment.

Because they say and do the things they dont want to do, kind of like being in a china shop and having an untollerable urge to push them all over. Its not always swearing, it may be spitting, noises or some form of action.

I never generally win except i'm ill with a chilly because of the fact i'm getting so drained it is as though I stayed up an entire week with a wink of sleep.

Most tourettes sufferers do not even have verbal tics.... but if they do have verbal tics they are often just sounds , not words at all.

They don't, only a very small number say rude words, they are just the ones who get noticed more.

The best theory is it is the primitive part of the brain is acting. Much like people that have a stroke or dementia begin cursing and have never in their life cussed

They impulsively want to shock as their ability to distinguish between the acceptable & the unacceptable become temporarily blurred

because they're wankers who pretend to have this fake disease to get attention - just like so-called ADHD sufferers. Ever notice that only americans ever seem to have these conditions?
