Most tics are random words, unrelated to the situation. However it's not a very well understood condition, and we all experience the condition uniquely. I bet there isn't just one answer to this. But I'll explain how these sorts of jokes happen to me specifically.
OCD is often co-morbid with TS. Strong emotions can cause more frequent and severe tics. Worry has a HUGE influence on my tics. I also get intrusive thoughts about inappropriate words or dangerous actions, like putting my hand in a fire for example.

I will consciously have intrusive thoughts about doing inappropriate things. Not because I subconsciously think them, rather I know it would be the worst thing to do in this situation.

So If I Worry about being inappropriate, that emotion, plus the intrusive thoughts trigger my tics and make them inappropriate. In this case I was talking to a cool girl, and I didn't want to say anything bad about women in front of her.

For example, as someone with OCD I'd explain intrusions like vertigo, like a sensation of wanting to jump from a high point because the thought of falling is too overwhelming. So if you know something is dangerous etc. Trying not to think about it or do it.. Makes you do it.

Or in terms of OCD makes you need to carry out the action. People with OCD and TS have very little control over their thoughts and what they do. However, OCD can be controlled to some degree. But even OCD is near impossible to refrain from actions. Sometimes I gotta punch shit.

That explains why I can somewhat understand TS a little more than I expected
