“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
Simple tics (motor or vocal) Simple tics involve the movement of very few muscles and making sounds; these last for just a few seconds. Some examples of simple motor or vocal tics include facial grimacing, eye blinking, neck jerking, grunting, sniffing, or constant throat clearing, etc.
I like the theory above, because of the Freudian speculations about man's sense of smell, and the disorder leading to man's unique frontal lobes... or at least "half" of them (why we don't smell in "stereo" like bloodhounds).
