Why do we say excuse me when we burp?

because our mamas told us it was the polite thing to do, and their mamas told them, and so on and so on.

Hiccups occur when a spasm contracts the diaphragm, a large sheet of muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. This spasm causes an intake of breath that is suddenly stopped by the closure of the vocal cords (glottis). This closure causes the characteristic "hiccup" sound. A very full stomach can cause bouts of hiccups that go away on their own. Full stomach can be caused by: eating too much too fast, drinking too much alcohol, swallowing too much air, smoking, sudden change in stomach temperature, such as drinking a hot beverage and then a cold beverage, and emotional stress or excitement. Hiccups that last longer than 48 hours are called persistent hiccups. Hiccups that last longer than a month are called intractable hiccups.  Both persistent and intractable hiccups may be a sign of a more serious health problem and require an exam by a health professional. There really is no way to prevent them.

A hiccup or hiccough (generally pronounced "hiccup" independent of the spelling) 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. A bout of hiccups generally resolves by itself, although many home remedies are in circulation to shorten the duration, and medication is occasionally necessary. By extension, the term "hiccup" is also used to describe a small and unrepeated aberration in an otherwise consistent pattern. The medical term is singultus.\n\nWhile many cases develop spontaneously, hiccups are known to develop often in specific situations, such as eating too quickly, taking a cold drink while eating a hot meal, eating very hot or spicy food, laughing vigorously or coughing, or drinking an excess of an alcoholic beverage. Hiccups may be caused by pressure to the phrenic nerve by other anatomical structures, or rarely by tumors.

I hope you're not eating your stomach.  If you burp and get that smell, it may be from sulfur-producing bacteria somewhere in your digestive system.

The same thing as passing air, passing gas, cutting one, cutting the cheese, letting her rip, and ripping one.\nIt means you farted.

its an expression that canbe used to represne tmany mistakes. like forgetting what you were just talking about when a converstaion is interrupted. Or it could be when you forget what you were just watching, or forgetting the simplist of things. All these mistakes happen all the time, depending on how stupid it was is how big of a fart it was.

eat slower. burps are caused by excess air in the stomach that needs to be expelled. when people eat faster, they swallow more air than if they slow down a bit

When you sneeze it indicates that you don't feel well. So when people hear you sneeze they say "bless you". Farting is generally not an unhealthy function, just impolite to do it in front of other people. When you fart you should say "excuse me" and the reply should be "you are excused".\n\nBy the way, do you know why farts stink so bad?\n\nAnswer: So that deaf people can enjoy them too!

With the accents, it's "Je suis désolé."\n\nIf you are saying sorry after bumping into someone or something, you might say "Excusez-moi" (which means "Excuse me").\n\nIf you want to apologize for something, you could also say "Je veux faire des excuses pour..." meaning "I want to apologize for..." (literally, it means "I want to make excuses for...").

all depends on why you're saying it\nIf you've done bad and want to apologize - Je m'excuse - \nIf you bump into someone in the hallway - Je suis desole - \nIf you want to interrupt someone ( politely !!!) - Pardonnez moi -\nIf you want to walk by someone and they're in the way - Pardon- \nalso depends on who you're saying it to\nDesole is more 'formal' talking to older ppl, or a boss or something like that\nJe m'excuse you could say to your partner, friends, family ... a little less formal \nPardonnez moi & pardon is more like saying 'excuse me' \nnot 'I'm Sorry'\n\nHope this makes sense!\nBonne Chance

A hiccup or hiccough (generally pronounced "HICK-up" independent of the spelling) 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. A bout of hiccups generally resolves by itself, although many home remedies are in circulation to shorten the duration, and medication is occasionally necessary. By extension, the term "hiccup" is also used to describe a small and unrepeated aberration in an otherwise consistent pattern. The medical term is singultus.\n\nWhile many cases develop spontaneously, hiccups are known to develop often in specific situations, such as eating too quickly, taking a cold drink while eating a hot meal, eating very hot or spicy food, laughing vigorously or coughing, or drinking an excess of an alcoholic beverage. Hiccups may be caused by pressure to the phrenic nerve by other anatomical structures, or rarely by tumors.\n\nIt is still unclear to scientists exactly why hiccups occur, particularly because it doesn't seem to give us any specific benefit. Some speculation exists that hiccups are a remnant of a bodily function that has been phased out by evolution, such as the move from aquatic gilled creatures to land animals. More research is required to ascertain their true nature, origins, and purpose, if any.

It's considered rude to do so in public.  A lack of self-control.  Also, it usually doesn't smell very pleasant. \n\nI have a saying too "I really don't like to smell what you had for dinner last night especially after it spent all that time rotting in your colon."  \n\nIf it's a mistake it's a mistake, you say excuse me or whatever and people laugh at you.  \n\nIf you do it on purpose, I think people have a right to get mad because it's rude and it shows that you don't care about how others feel.

not really. This is more like an opinion not a fact. Your asking something that doesnt have a meaning to.\n\nIs it important to fart?.\n\nIs it important to urinate?.\n\nhmm how bout is it important to burp like your dog?. \n\nEveryone has their biased views. So if I was you.... dont even bother asking, It makes you look foolish and get a stupid answer in the end.

its a buil up of gases inside your stomach trying to escape... for example when you drink a can of soft drink its the gasses escaping from the fluid that builds in your stomach which then force themselves through your throat.
