hiccup A hiccup is something that happens with your breathing that you cannot control. You suddenly take in a very quick breath through your mouth and then the breath just stops. People often make a sound like a squeak when this happens. If this happens many times in a row, we call it "having the hiccups." Usually, it is nothing serious. A hiccup is caused when the muscles used to breathe tighten up.

place Place has a special meaning when we are talking about numbers. If we look at a number like 346, we can see that it has three digits. They are 3, 4, and 6. How do we understand what these three digits mean? How do we know that these three numbers in a row going from left to right mean "three hundred forty-six" and not just "three, four, six"? It's because of their place--their position--in the number. The 3 is in the "hundreds place," so we know it means 3 hundreds. The 4 is in the "tens place," so we know it means 4 tens. The 6 is in the "ones place," so we know it means 6 ones. The idea of place lets us understand the meaning of the different digits in a number. [1/13 definitions]
