The Yurp

stretching back in the cathedra at the office or in the classroom, after binging in the afternoon on gas-producing foodstuffs, with said digestive organ of said animated being enlarged & bursting at the seams in pants that had been chosen not to be worn after such a meal, so when the belt is loosened & the top button unbuttoned, out from the mouth comes a particular squish of air that can be recognized as both a burp (eructation) & a yawn (gaping open mouth indicating tired, weary, lack of care), but no one knows which is a more accurate depiction, so in unison all who have witnessed it, proclaim it a “yurp!”
