Furtle

Furtle: verb. To experience hiccups and flatulence at the same time, often with one triggering the other. A person who furtles repeatedly is called a furtler and the annual contest in furtling is called "The Furtlerian Games." Interestingly, the condition is acknowledged by the Panamian Medical Society as "a life threatening disease that severely decreases the quality of life of the people who suffer from it." In some countries, furtlers are treated to higher wages, less taxation and disability support pension, while in others, furtlers are persecuted and exterminated as pesky vermin that make it impossible to sit on a bus without choking to death.
