Soooooooo random question

[conuly]

Is it possible to have a hiccup without having the hiccups? And, follow-up, is it a hiccup if you just have the quick involuntary intake of air without the "hic" part?

Yes. I can halt hiccups after the first one if I do it quickly and carefully enough. Once I’ve had three or four “hic”s, they’re established and very hard to stop.
