Coprographia

Coprographia is involuntarily making vulgar writings or drawings.[1] Coprographia comes from the Greek κόπρος (kópros), meaning "feces", and γραφή (graphḗ), meaning "writing".

Related terms are coprolalia, the involuntary usage of obscene and/or profane words,[2] and copropraxia, the involuntary performance of obscene gestures.[3]
