I think you mean GULP (you often say GLUP). It is a thing you do with your oropharynx, hypopharynx and cricopharyngeal sphincter, all with neuromuscular incoordination, when you know you have totally f…… no, messed it up I meant to say…. It is GULP. Try swallowing with an empty mouth and you will hear the sound. |
