An cough that only arises when in a quiet place or during an important exam when surrounded by other people. You know you're annoying the other people around you but you can't do anything about it.
Person 1: I think I bombed that test.
Person 2: Why do you say that? I thought you studied hard.
Person 1: I did, but I had a case of test cough the entire time. I couldn't stop thinking about how annoying I was to the people around me and that made me cough more.
Person 2: I hate it when that happens.
