Question: why coprolalic?

Answer: why not? After watching far too much "Inside the Actor's Studio" for one's own good, I have become fascinated by the questionnaire introduced by the French genius Behr-nahrd Pee-voh (after Proust, James Lipton would correct me sternly). Celebrities typically offer trite answers as to their favorite words (so trite that I can't remember what they are off-hand ...yes, art, beauty, strength? Whatever.) --the exception being Robin Williams' "cloaca". Well, thinking about it, I've decided my favorite word is COPROLALIA for both meaning and sound. Actually, anything ending in -lalia is pretty, I think, but so few of those words relate to my fascination with cursing. And as I curse far more than I ought to (my dad was a sailor at one point --does that count? Am I allowed to "curse like the OFFSPRING of a sailor"?), that makes me ... coprolalic. Welcome.
