I wish the thing causing my hiccups would manifest as a physical object so I could beat the everloving shit out of it with a hammer and finally go to sleep. (sopuli.xyz)

Incidentally, IIRC one of, if not the only proven cure for the hiccups is a prostate massage, now normally it's the person with the hiccups who gets massaged, as opposed to being the masseur...

Though I have no idea if that technique works for women as well, or if it's just men who have that awkwardly placed off switch

Do you have a source for that?

I'll keep this in my back pocket next time my partner has the hiccups. I'll massage her prostate and report back.
