Fusillade of Vulgarities

Jane woke up this morning and it felt like her ship just landed. It feels like Fleet Week all over again.
The reason for this frikkin-frakkin was the fact that Hylah decided to make coffee for Jane before she woke up this morning. Now, while this, in and of itself, is usually not a bad thing, this morning, we had a guest over and, when this happens, Hylah usually gets over zealous in her 'watch what I can do' routine. Hylah put too much coffee in the machine, probably not enough water and definitely too much sugar in the final concoction.
Once the mixture hit Jane's palette, the flood gates came crashing down... Somehow, some choice lines from one of my favorite movies (A Christmas Story (1983)) are the only things that seem to do the situation justice.

"I have since heard of people under extreme duress speaking in strange tongues. I became conscious that a steady torrent of obscenities and swearing of all kinds was pouring out of [Jane] as [she] screamed."

"In the heat of battle [Jane] wove a tapestry of obscenities that as far as we know is still hanging in space over Lake Michigan."

"Now, I had heard that word at least ten times a day from [Jane]. [She] worked in profanity the way other artists might work in oils or clay. It was [her] true medium; a master."

It was pretty funny, when we all busted her on it and she realized what she was doing, we all had a big laugh, but it did raise the question. Can you buy Tourette's medication over the counter?
