Coprographia
Coprographia is involuntarily making vulgar writings or drawings.[1] The word comes from the Greek κόπρος (kópros), meaning "feces", and γραφή (graphḗ), meaning "writing".[2] Related terms are coprolalia, the involuntary usage of obscene and/or profane words,[3] and copropraxia, the involuntary performance of obscene gestures.[4] It should not be confused with the behavior of smearing actual feces, which is called scatolia.[5]
