"'Choking' means a complete or near-complete blockage of the airway, usually by food or a foreign object, causing difficulty breathing and often panic, while 'having something go down the wrong way' refers to accidentally inhaling food or liquid into the windpipe, causing a cough reflex but not necessarily a complete airway obstruction; this is medically termed 'aspiration' and is usually less severe than choking." Google AI. Yeah, like I used to tell people. If you can say "I'm choking!", you're not LOL. Seriously though. If you are choking and people misinterpret what is going on. Like if you're having one of those café coronaries. The universal sign of choking is placing both hands on your throat. (Or you could right it down.)
