What sound do we produce after eating chillies?

[Tom]

Hi

When a person eats a lot of chillies or something too pungent he/ she starts to breathe in such a manner that a strange sound like C-C starts to come out of his or her mouth.Could you please tell me what he/ she is doing at that time?

Wow ... have to tell you that my wife can write volumes about the sounds I make after certain foods but I don't know of anybody who makes any particular oral sound while eating chillies. At least, not any sound that has a descriptive word in English.....

It's funny... in Gaelic, there is apparently a word that describes the unique sensation that affects the upper lip just after taking a sip of whiskey so I imagine that other cultures have food related expressions that have no English equivalent.

You may have a word in mind that has no counterpart in English.

Might be a hiccup... I know I've suffered from post-pepper hiccups.

The Mayans, at least, have a word for this -- they call it 'huuyub', which means 'to draw breath with a puckered mouth after eating chillies'. In true Mayan fashion, a whole sentence is condensed into a single word.
