A hiccup or hiccough is an involuntary spasm of the diaphragm; typically this repeats several times a minute. The sudden rush of air into the lungs causes the glottis to close, creating the "hic" noise.

Dunno why but it happens when the phrenic nerve can get damaged through surgery or when the diaphragm goes into spasm.
