In the twighlight of my life I now have time to consider many deep and vexing questions about life. One of these is: What is the difference between a burp and a belch, if any? Is it physical, etymological or what? As the English language deteriorates into a smaller and smaller pool of mostly misused words this question has me concerned.

You are taking answers on the mother tongue from a Stache that flew with the Luft?
"Most gods throw dice, but Fate plays chess, and you don't find out until too late that he's been playing with two queens all along".  Terry Pratchett.

During filming of Airplane, Leslie Nielsen used a whoopee cushion to keep the cast off-balance. Hays said that Nielsen "played that thing like a maestro"

Tallulah Bankhead: "I'll come and make love to you at five o'clock. If I'm late, start without me."

"That helped."  Lauren Bacall

Master Chiefs are sneaky, dastardly, and snarky miscreants who thrive on the tears of Ensigns and belly dancers.   Admiral Gerry Bogan.

With that question settled, I can die happy.

A belch echoes. A burp doesn't.
