I think I may have a mild case of it, because when I get too stressed, it triggers a decent little verbal outburst that genuinely relieves the tension! Just curious.....anybody else got the same thing goin' on out there?

Well, I don't think you've got Tourette's, just because typically those who do will just randomly shout out cuss words for no reason at all, no stress factor neccessary.
Think you may just have a case of "potty mouth".

I am not a psychologist. However, think the swearing in tourettes syndrome is involuntary. I am not sure that is what you are experiencing is involuntary. I have to admit that a good tantrum every now and then releases some tension for me too. I just have to be careful who sees it.

It's called Tourette's Syndrome, I just did a report on it. It is when you say or do things constantly that you can't control.

I think a decent verbal outburst is a good way to give vent to suppress frustrations.

I do get the "cussing mad" syndrome sometimes but I don't ever really cuss I say more like 'crap' , 'shoot' , 'dang it'!!!
nice little white cuss words!!!
I don't really like the way it sounds when I hear a girl cuss so even the words that I do say I say under my breath and hope no one hears me!

It says that Tourette's involves the compulsive expression of obscene words. ;) Happy to help.
