Copropraxia

Copropraxis (from the Greek κοπροπράξις koproprâxis : from κόπρος kópros , “dung”, “dung”, “dung”, and πράξις prâxis , “act”, “act”, “performance”) is a neurological - psychiatric symptom , as is it occurs in so-called Tourette's syndrome . Copropraxia involves showing involuntary, obscene gestures (sticking out the tongue, masturbating movements , showing the middle finger) and is accordingly very stressful for both those affected and their surroundings.
