Hehe, i think hiccups are totally messed up. I used to get them a long time ago, but my older brother always stopped his. When me and him worked together at our family store, and i hiccuped, he'd get really pissed and say "stop it," no explanation of how or why.
Since then, i've somehow figured out how to stop my hiccups. I rarely hiccup more than once, and twice is usually the max. I believe your neck pinching thing is similar, its your way (or someone you know), of telling yourself to stop the hiccup. Like a manual override to the hiccup response.
who knows, maybe we're all just dreaming and hiccups aren't real =P
