The cough assist is a device used to help patients who don't have a strong cough due to a nuromuscular disease such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy, or Pulmonary Muscular Atrophy. It delivers positive pressure on the lungs, and puts air into the lungs via a facemask, mouthpiece, or endotracheal/tracheostomy tube adpater, and then once the positive pressure is in the lungs it swiches to negative pressure thus simulating a cough.
1. A cough assist is kind of like a suction machine, but a suction suction machine has to have a tube that goes into the lungs to get the stuff out.

If someone is being a general mothefucker and pissing you off, this can be an easy to phrase to use to insult and hurt them. Cough on the shoe is a basic fuck you and piss off, but with a formal twist. Call me a magician
(Mid argument) ‘Oh well you can go cough on the shoe”
(Or keep it short and sweet) ‘cough on the shoe bitch”

the cough respectful people use when their lungs are about to explode, but they cannot cough at full volume.
jake was in the most important business meeting of the year with a cold, so he had to use his golf cough as to not interrupt the speaker.
