This is me introducing myself, as directed by the name of this board.

I had forgotten defenestration. It's nice to finally see an etymology.

My opinion of Tourette's Syndrome.

90% diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome actually have it.
9% of people Tourette's Syndrome actually had a spinal injury causing the same symptoms. (I fall into this category)
<1% found the episode of south park found it funny, though they pretend to have compulsive swearing

I had Raising/furrowing eyebrows and wrinkling my nose, closing my eyes tight for a second or so, blinking, grunts, bad twitches in my neck.
After several weeks with my chiropractor, most of the conditions are gone, and I am able to suppress the ones that aren't.

Have you ever been in an accident that involved your neck/ spine.  Such as a bike accident?

When you say suppress, do you mean completely? Or temporarily. Because if it's an actual tic disorder, then suppressing is only a temporary solution. The only way to stop ticing is to tic.

[Freyaday]

Yeah, like fighting a sneeze.

Actually, the best hangman word is fly. Only three letters, and none of them common.
I actually know what syzygy means, and doesn't it look awesome in print?

I beg to differ.
The best word for hangman is lynx.

In my experience, nobody has been able to solve it without giving the hangman new shoes and some shiny sunglasses.

[Freyaday]

Huh. I'll have to try it sometime. But the shortness of fly messes with your head, man.

[ZippyDee]

Yeah, like fighting a sneeze.

Many people use this as an example. I don't agree with this. There's a point at which you literally cannot stop yourself from sneezing, just before it starts. With tics, that point comes as soon as you start ticing. Because of this, I usually liken it to a cough. Ever have that feeling like you really have to cough, but you hold it in, and it just builds up in your chest, and creeps up to the back of your throat until you can't hold it in any more and you have to let it out? That's what it's like. You CAN hold it in, but the longer you hold it in, the worse the feeling gets. The only way to make the pressure go away is to let the tics come out. I say "tics" instead of "tic" because it often ends up being more than you thought it was.

[Freyaday]

Like pee?

[ZippyDee]

Lol no, there's a point where you physically can't hold pee in any longer too, no matter how much you want to. With this you CAN hold it in, but it just feels AWFUL.

[Freyaday]

Well, if you hold pee in too long, there's a chance it may go back into the kidneys. This is called renal reflux and it can cause serious kidney damage.

[ZippyDee]

Sounds fun. No kidney damage with Tourette's as far as I'm aware.

[Freyaday]

Oh, it's a barrel of monkeys. My dad got me a Game Boy Color so I wouldn't be so bored in the hospital, and that GBC was what started me on video games and probably computers in general. I still have it. It's teal.

[ztrumpet]

For the record, my favorite hangman word is rhythm.

[Freyaday]

What about LP?

[DJ Omnimaga]

Long play, a kind of Vinyl
