Definitions by Jerry Fodor

A portmanteau combining the words burp and hiccup.

A burccup is the spasmodic contraction of the diaphragm simultaneously accompanied by release of gas from the stomach via the esophagus.

This term is superior to the term "burp-up", as the former originates from the British Isles.
Dud that burccup sounded dangerous.
