I have this really weird one where I can 'click' my chest. Just as you would 'click' your fingers.
My brother does that with his neck! It makes everyone gag!
I have got Tourettes. The best analogy I have ever heard to help non-Touretters feel what it is like to have a tic is that it is like trying not to blink. Seriously, just sit for as long as possible with your eyes open. The longer you leave it, the more you need to slam your eyes shut! I have multiple motor tics, vocal tics which sound like barking, coughing, sniffing, and complex tics which make me copy words (echolalia) and movements (echopraxia), as mentioned earlier palilalia, and unfortunately coprolalia (saying rude things...). The majority of people with TS don't swear though and coprolalia is no longer a necessity for a diagnosis. I also shout random things like 'banana' or 'leprechaun' and sing 'I want to know what love is' with no warning... weird!
