Definition
A person who compulsively speaks obscene or vulgar language, often as part of a medical condition called coprolalia.
Etymology
From Greek 'kopros' (feces) + 'lalia' (speech), literally 'feces-speech.' The term was coined in the 19th century to describe involuntary obscene utterances, linking the condition to fecal imagery in medieval and classical medicine's theory of humor imbalances.
Kelly Says
Coprolalia—involuntary swearing—became famous through Tourette syndrome, but the obsession with linking it to feces shows how medieval doctors thought bodily humors controlled behavior. The word reveals more about how we've historically connected disgust with loss of control than it does about actual neurology.
