Hiccup is an irritation of the diaphragm. Has no effects other than being annoying.

It is a spasm of the diaphram. Caused by eating and drinking too fast also breathing fast can make it happen. Annoying yes.

It is due to irritation of the phrenic nerve that supplies the diaphragm....

hiccups are "muscle spasms" in our "diaphragm(s)"
