To burp

A Verb

S: (v) burp, bubble, belch, eruct (expel gas from the stomach) e.g. "In China it is polite to burp at the table"

The example should be more accurate: "In China it's allowed to burp, fart, spit EVERYWHERE". Or even better: In Beijing it's allowed to burp, fart, spit EVERYWHERE"

Beijingers are great at spitting. They train themselves in restaurants, taking the bones in their mouth when they eat and then spit them on the floor. The beginners just spit on the table, until they get the technique.

I feel like throwing up on my office desk. But this is not polite, even in Beijing.
