The act of releasing gas from the stomach through the mouth, which makes a distinctive sound (also called belching).
From 'burp,' an onomatopoeia—a word that imitates the sound it represents. This was American slang before becoming standard English.
In some cultures, burping is considered rude, but in others like China and India, burping after a meal is actually a compliment to the cook showing you're satisfied and full! It's a perfect example of how manners are completely culturally relative.
