I can't remember where, it was probably on BBLB, but I heard someone say that Tourette's is now looked upon as 'the swearing disease.' Whilst Pete definitely raised awareness that such a thing existed, Tourette's does not trigger only swearing, but for a lot of people with Tourette's they simply show signs of twitching etc.
So now there seems to be the ridiculous suggestion that unless you swear, you don't actually have 'proper Tourette's' which completely isn't true and I know that since I had an awareness of Tourette's before watching BB.
Of course, none of this is Pete's fault though - I believe he was just displaying what his regular reaction was.
