There are a lot of shitty medical conditions that people deal with with — herpes, retardism, Broca’s aphasia, etc. What? You’ve never heard of Broca’s aphasia?
Sufferers of this form of aphasia exhibit the common problem of agrammatism. For them, speech is difficult to initiate, non-fluent, labored, and halting. [1]
Some people can only pronounce a single one-syllable word, like “cock.”
The man in the video below can only say the word “tono.” Inside his own mind, he’s speaking normally, but Broca’s aphasia is fuckin’ his shit up! Check it out:
I’d love to hang out with him for one day — any longer than that, and I’d be annoyed.
That looks like fun! How can I get Broca’s aphasia?
Broca’s aphasia is caused by damage to or developmental issues in anterior regions of the brain, including (but not limited to) the left posterior inferior frontal gyrus known as Broca’s area. [1]
Translation: If you weren’t born with Broca’s aphasia, have a med student strike the speech center of your brain with a hammer and there’s a good chance you’ll get it.

I have spells of that when I’m having a migrane! Except I just forget how to talk….so words like ‘Brain’ are replaced with ‘Brasin’…. and ‘Talk’ is replaced with ‘Hazlenut’… It’s frustrating as anything!

Godammit – for the last 3 days I’ve had “tono tono” going through my head.
But, I’ve started to use it conversationally when I need to say something but don’t want people to know what I’m saying. In my head I’m saying “no, you stupid fat bitch, I wanted the hamburger rare and the fries well done, not the other way around – that’s why I asked you to write it down” – but out loud I simply say “tono tono tono….”
