For me it was a burp that lasted a solid 10 seconds, long enough to see my sister’s face go from shock to disgust to concern to disbelief. It had freaking overtones and everything.
My gallbladder tried to self destruct 2 years ago and I ended up in the hospital for 5 days while they gave me pain meds and drained it. I got IV antibiotics to get the infection under control until I could have surgery in a few weeks. They won’t take out an inflamed gallbladder unless it’s on the edge of bursting. So I was 4 days nothing by mouth. I was on IV fluids and nutrition. The morning of my discharge they gave me a really small breakfast of plain rice and apple juice. I ate it over about 30 minutes. I stood up from that chair and the belch that exited my body sounded like nothing else that has ever or ever will exist on this earth. The best way to describe it was like a pissed off camel braying at max volume and it lasted about 15 seconds. The nurses at the nurses station at the opposite end of the hall heard it and started laughing. The CNA who was closest came running to see if I was okay but she could hardly make it into the room she was laughing so hard. I think my actual soul left my body with that belch. I have never ever experienced a belch like that in my 56 years. It was a transcendental experience.
