burps

Impolite dinner sounds

Burps are releases of gas from the stomach through the mouth, often with a characteristic sound.

The verb means to expel such gas: The baby burped after feeding.

To burp a baby is to pat or rub its back to help release trapped air.

Informally, any short emission may be called a burp: The engine gave a burp and died.
