There is some really good information on the condition and symptoms on the TS Foundation of Canada website: www.tourette.ca/whatists_treatment.php.  I find that it clearly describes exactly what the condition is and what happens in the people that live with it.

TS is a neurologial disorder. The people who have it have an imbalance of chemicals in their brain (dopamine and Serratonin). Which are sometimes called misbehaving brain cells.
The 'misbehaving brain cell' send kind of like false messages to the brain, which are called tics.
and tics can be anything from blinking more than usual, to picking scabs, to corprolalia, ecolalia, to jerking your head...
You cant name all of them, it literally impossible.
