Witzelsucht

creechure:

bestofwikipedia:

Witzelsucht, from the German witzeln, meaning to joke or wisecrack, and sucht meaning addiction or yearning (sucht means searching), is a set of rare neurological symptoms characterized by the patient’s uncontrollable tendency to pun, tell inappropriate jokes and pointless or irrelevant stories at inconvenient moments. The patient nevertheless finds these utterances intensely amusing. (via lonelysandwich)

I think this would apply to my friends and I.

oh my god, I think I took the habit of diagnosing myself to a whole new scary level.

“That joke was awful. I’m sorry. I can’t help it; I have witzelsucht.” HAH.
