On the Baaaa-Beeee

Tics. What are they?

A tic is a sudden, repetitive, nonrhythmic, stereotyped motor movement or vocalization involving discrete muscle groups. - wikipedia
So. We had this instance from the tutor. There was a young Malay boy who came to the Child clinic. And apparently, he had verbal tics; he repeatedly say the same thing over and over and over and over and over again, and it seemed he really enjoy repeated the same thing.

Wanna know what he said?

More often that not, it's associated with vulgars.

Wow! I didn't know there is such a thing in verbal that one will repeat the same word over and over again. Can it be cured? What causes it?
