Is atheism a belief?

Just to add:

It's only funny if the swearing is funny. Randomly saying fuck you dickhole is perhaps funny and embarrassing. Uncontrollably blurting really obscene words that are pretty specific is not at all a pleasant experience. Thankfully in my case it only happens in private when I'm alone. Brains can be really weird at times.

Agreed. I saw a documentary once where a guy with Tourettes would tell his friend that he had ginger pubes, a very complex tic. They would both have a laugh about it because it really was funny, but it can certainly sometimes just be a random swear that's simply more embarrassing than entertaining.

For Tibs, who I hope doesn't mind that I bring him up as an example, but he's quite public here about having the syndrome, swearing isn't part of the package. However, he often makes these (I think) cute noises that people mistake for hiccups and sneezing. He gets advice for stopping hiccups and "bless yous" when we're out in public regularly. One woman, from three aisles over in a CVS, panicked and thought someone was choking. Haha. She was cute. At home, he is much louder. Brains are weird like that.
