A condition shared my few, but heard by many; it is the
sound made by a convulsing
single hiccup, yet the inflection is unsynchopated. The sufferer is powerless to control it and it'
s onset is as unpredictable as a hiccup. The diaphram spasms, causing the sufferer to inhale sharply, making a very loud, pitched, gasp. Milder form of this condition is exhibited by
people who have over eaten or drank too much. True suffers are very distinct and are often mistaken by witnesses as having been surprised or
hurt. Though often painful, the occurances are unavoidable, untreatable, unsymptomatic, exhibit no lasting health effects, and have only been discovered to afflict women.
You are riding the train and a
woman a few
feet away gasps so loudly, it draws the attention of the entire
car. Everyone turns to lend assistance, but she simply says "Excuse me, it's just a meep" this is called Meep or meap. However you want to spell it.
