Only 10-15% of people with Tourette’s have coprolalia tics. Coprolalia is not a required symptom for the diagnosis of Tourette syndrome. The majority of people with this condition don’t swear. Coprolalia can also be present in other neurological conditions, or exist as a symptom on its own. Tourette’s ≠ coprolalia, and coprolalia ≠ Tourette’s.
