"Excuse me" after a burp becomes the hottest phrase in the English language
I love a full chested “Excuse me” like they can’t believe they just did that. I love a casual “'scuse me” like they almost didn’t even notice they burped. I love a perfunctory “Excuse me” Like that habit's been trained into them by years of practice. I love a startled “E-excuse me!” Like they wish they could melt into the floor. I love an emphatic “Excuse me!” like they’re actually more proud than sorry. I love an awkward silence before an “…Excuse me” like they almost couldn’t even bring themselves to call attention to it. I love a genuine “Sorry, excuse me” That feels like it’s just for me. I love a panting “guh…’scuse me” Like they had to apologize before they even recovered their breath. But nothing beats an “Excuse me—UUuurpp.”
