what you must first know about me before discussing this thread is that... i hate my family.:( i say that with great dissatisfaction, because i have tried to deal with them. unfortunately they are all crazy, ignorant, self-absorbed, and manipulative (varying between persons).
now to the main topic. my father is no exception to being distasteful. and he is some what belligerent; though not violent. although, i think he has an inferiority complex and yearns to 'prove his manliness', if there is a fight he could win (without legal ramifications as well). he is actually the kind of guy who is kind of (oh, how do i put it) 'greaser like'. sort of subtly cocky, but not when he is arrogant, which is more blatant. he is a bit goofy. and will spontaneously shout stuff like; "whoa there'a". sort of like an old-timey southerner; minus the word 'sonny'.
anyway. he has started saying that he probably has tourettes. but it doesn't seem like his belligerent torts are tics. and; besides his goofy outburst, its only during topics and conversations. problems. and they're not always important. like once when my sister (who was a bit of an unconscionable spender) asked to buy a dollar fifty song for her cell. he went off.
so what do you guys think? is he just taking advantage of a medical problem, or does it sound like he really has tourettes? if you can think of anything for me to describe to help paint the picture, let me know.

Some times it's only certain situations that make it happen, but it sounds like he is just using it as an excuse to be an ass.
