Uncontrolled spasm of the diaphragm. The only way I have ever seen hiccups stopped is by eating a teaspoon of granulated sugar. Salt would work too but yuck, who wants that? It seems that the granules of the sugar have an effect on a nerve in the throat which immediately suspends the spasms. In conjunction with that, breath "with your stomach" instead of your chest - i.e. protrude your belly. This seems to help stabilize the movement of the diaphragm and makes you aware of your breathing.
Tip - be sure to swallow the sugar as fast as you can before it melts. Don't inhale it or you'll cough and make things worse.
