Diaghram tickles

hiccups are "muscle spasms" in our "diaphragm(s)"

if you don't know what these quoted words are, then you's stoopid!

It is a spasm of the diaphram. Caused by eating and drinking too fast also breathing fast can make it happen. Annoying yes.

Due to plasmodic contraction of the Diaphragam

It is due to irritation of the phrenic nerve that supplies the diaphragm..
