hicups
Hiccups are a spasmic response to stimulation of your diaphragm, the muscle which assists in the inflation of your lungs during breathing. The esophagus, stomach and diaphragm are in such close quarters that if your stomach is too full, or if you eat something that gets "stuck" in your esophagus, it could stimulate your diaphragm to spasm and you'll have hiccups.
